Perhaps. Yet anyone who could come up with a doctor's
note could get a medical waiver. Such notes were never
hard to get.

But in the overall perspective waivers were used only by
a relatively small percentage of new hams. In the few VE
sessions I assisted in I don't recall ever seeing one being
used. Was the waiver process abused by some?
Probably, but it wasn't a wide practice at all.


I only saw two cases of waivers being used. One was my ex-husband and I
personally knew how severe his problem was. Naturally I was not a VE at
those sessions.

I don't see a problem with that, but I still consider a pass/fail exam
for just one operating mode to be insane.

The other case was at a test session where I was taking my
Extra exam. Someone did come in and present his waiver.

Sometimes Extra VE's talk about the folks who have waivers, even the
ones they recommended the process to.
