the mistake every authority has made is....

when you cheapen a licence , you get lower standards of behaviour being

suppositions and unsuported
never listened to the bands in the last two years then ?

yes I have

indeed I hear very little there a subject I find of some concern




when those who have licences did very little to get that licence they will
treat that licence with very little respect.

again suposition
never listened to the bands in the last two years then ?
yes i have listened

I also know I almost nothing for my license yet I value it highly for
what it alows me to do



when those licensees are governed by rules/regulations then their
behaviour may well become the subject of complaints.

complaints must be investigated.
this costs money.

not realy the FCC did not bother with complaints for many years

that is why the bands got trashy

and they will continue to get 'trashy'

and this is not affected by the testing or lack of it

you don't put the cops out looking for speeding you don't chatch the
speeders

making the linces harder to get does not stopp the speeder the fears of
the cops does


if 'u' are given a licence for almost no-effort then that licence is
worthless because when lost ..it represents no-amount of effort.

you are wrong my License was given me with no more efort than it took
to show and take the test (the book i had ordered to studiy arrived the
day after the test
