What separates an Extra from an Tech is not a "caste system" but rather
who had the motivation to study versus who didn't.
Motivation versus a lack of motivation *is* exactly why we have a
population of citizens with various educational, vocational, and
wealth differences.
Motivation is the key to everything. Study and you'll become what
you wish; if you do not study you'll never become anything.
The problem is that what motivates you isn't necessarily the same
thing that motivates everyone else, and maybe not even a majority.
Why would you say that's a problem?
The .policy NG was originally created to take the code debate off of
..misc, so I imagine you're on here in order to get the coveted HF
access w/o having to learn the code. Hence, you share a common goal
with many others (HF access). As you say, what motivates one person
(maybe 20m CW DX) can surely differ from what motivates another (maybe
the leisurely 40m daytime nets). Differences in motivation certainly
aren't a problem.
