So basically ur saying that you should be able to either

1. Pay for your license and Take a beginner test (to prove your
competent)
or
2. Take a Intermediate Test and get free license after passing

If this is what you mean, then i can see your logic and i would fully
support a system like this...

basicaly yes

Sure...Why not...

Let's just throw out the whole concept of really LEARNING...But of
course this is the course that the Amateur Radio Service has been going
since Bash bashed it to death.

I still say he should be dragged behind a jeep over a rocky road.

Only problem is that just like Slow Code and the other trolls who try
to change the Ham world, we wouldnt be able to do anything either, its
down to the corporations, not us little people...

well maybe I am naive but if Ham could get it together to support
something different that was not hard to run (from the FCC's point of
view) I suspect we would get it
