Bottom line, every statement or opinion offered by the FCC

end up being revisited and changed at a later review.

So Jim, with that in mind, what is your specific proposal?

For Jim, there is no problem so large nor complex that it cannot be run
away from. We -must- be saddled with a system of licensing and
privileges which are remnants of numerous OBE rules changes, according
to Jim. Not only does he desire the code hurdle to remain, but he is
now claiming that the FCC is the main obstacle to modernization of the
service. Odd, but it is the FCC that is proposing rules changes. Jim
is all about difficulty, hurdles, and obfuscation.

Why not look at the basis and purpose, then design an amateur radio
service around that?

Brian, I find your last sentence to be most clear-headed
and refreshing in this din of inequity. Good point!
