Bottom line, if you want the priveleges, you takes the test (and that
pretty
much holds true for anything), you don't get to 'cherry-pick' the
particular
things that you feel comfortable with being tested on, or that which
YOU
feel
YOU have a use for.

You're sounding more and more Liberal with each post!

And you're sounding like the typical code zealot. You'd make the perfect
elitest liberal.

Well, I guess I am an 'elitist'. I was able to pass the 13 WPM requirement
to
obtain a General class license.

I didn't allow the code requirement to hold me back whether I was going to
ever
use it or not. I wasn't lazy, I wasn't dumb, I simply wanted the ticket,
and I
didn't whine about it.

Now, I guess I could use your mentality (and that of others) to provide a
'mental block' to my obtaining a Extra Class ticket if I desired to get
one. I
could whine, complain, stamp my feet and say that there are questions on
the
Extra exam that pertain to things that I just don't personally plan on
using in
Amateur Radio.

But would I allow those things to get in my way? No, I'd simply buckle
down,
study, and take the test.

I'm not a whiny Liberal.

Well, your constant whining that removing code will "dumb down" ham radio
dosent really hold water. It's not like the ENTIRE HF band will be opened up
to techs anyway.
