Yes, your list there shows how quite insane FCC licensing has been,
however, the arrl has to bear a lot of this blame also, they used
political pressures for their personal gains.

The longest journey begins but with the first step, there are many
necessary steps now to bring amateur radio back in line with sanity...

John

So what is your solution?

You must be kidding, Jim!

Not at all, Mike.

Of course some folks who poat to rrap tend to pose a
sort of Zen problem - they tell you what a thing is
not, or what it shouldn't be, but never say what it is,
or how it should be.

You watch. If Element 1 is dumped, as seems highly
likely, there will be a burst of license activity,
then same old same old as far as the numbers go.

f course. My question was who you were asking the question of.

Then watch as the written tests and other regs are
attacked as "barriers".

Heck, it's already started with the free upgrades
thing. FCC rejected that - this time.

I wonder how that argument will form? Without the Morse code as the
great "barrier", the argument will have to change quite a bit. Of course
I will wait excitedly for the next salvo in the requirement easing effort.
