Default A question for nickle Generals and Extras. Would you renew your license?

to be proficient at anything to have a ham radio license.

Nonsense. That's an illogical conclusion on your part, and _not_
something which has been stated, or can reasonably be inferred from
the postings that I have seen in these threads.



OK then, Since we all want to be proficient, how about this:


Step 1: No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass all
elements required for their license class.

Step 2: The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.

Step 3: Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.

Step 4: Make the no-code license one year non-renewable.
