Interesting idea.

No question pools!!!

Maybe apply that same principal to colleges. Don't put any relevant
material necessary to pass the course in the textbook. Then have the
instructor NEVER speak of anything which will be on the test.

Now that would be a real test of what the students know!!! Teach 'em
nothing and make the test DAMN DIFFICULT!

I just love the original ideas people come up with here...

Jim/N2EY was the original "No Test International" proponent.

But the Cecil/Jim proposal has a serious flaw. Few if any VE's have
the ability to differentiate a right solution from a wrong solution.
They might need to have look over their shoulder's. Hi!

It was never about CW/Morse code, just the effort required to learn
it. Requiring anything for which there is no open question/answer
pool will generate the same bellyaching, including the Smith Chart.

It came down to a cost/benefit analysis. None of the services had the
time or money to continue training people to emulate a modem. As an
antiquated radio service, amateur radio can force people to do things
that no other service is willing to do.
