What you're seeing is the classic "Law of Unintended Consequences".
If FCC does what they propose, eliminating the code test will also
eliminate any way for Technicians to get any HF privileges except
by upgrade to General.

Perhaps it is not "Unintended". It may be precisely what the FCC wanted to
do.

It was a screwy idea anyway. Old Tech w/o HF, Old Tech with HF, Tech
Plus, New Tech w/o HF, New Tech (no Plus) with HF.

Good grief!

Forget incentives. License people to be "Amateur Radio Operator" and
be done with it.

this is suposed to a license arrangement not some carrot and stick S&M
sesion

one class for all
