That's just plain wrong.
But we'll never see agreement on that from Leonard.
Would an arbitrary barrier, such as an age 14 barrier, have
prevented
either you or Jim from obtaining an amateur license?
You must not be reading much of the material.
Correct. What clued you in? Perhaps the question I asked???
You know, I don't hang on every word that Jim types.
Jim stated that he
obtained his license at thirteen.
Which I did not read. Thus the question. See how it works???
I certainly do. You have comments and questions but haven't bothered
to
read the material.
Jim's complaint concerns Len's wish for an arbitrary age 14 requirement
into the amateur service.
Would a minimum age of fourteen have
prevented his obtaining an amateur radio license at thirteen?
You
bet.
Not if he had approached amateur radio like Brian Kelly/W3RV did.
You'll likely want to take that issue up with W3RV. Make sure you've
read all the applicable material.
Kelly has stated that his first amateur experience was as a bootlegger.
How much more discussion is required?
I obtained my license at age fourteen. How could a minimum age
of
fourteen have presented a problem?
It wouldn't have, David. You are an outsider WRT such an age
restriction, so I don't know why you are concerned.
Guess what, "bb", there's likely another piece of information of
which
you are not aware. There was no age limit for amateur radio
licensing
when I obtained my license. Despite the efforts of Leonard H.
Anderson,
the FCC has still not seen fit to impose a minimum age limit.
So don't concern yourself. Len's suggestion never has and never will
affect you.
