Default Hams just want to talk on microphones. They hate skill and everyone that's skillful

But the written tests have been dumbed down as well. You don't need to
answer as many questions over-all for the General and Extra as you used


Are you ever capable of telling the truth?
My 1957 ARRL License Manual contains 279
Extra questions in 25 pages. My 2000 ARRL
Extra License Manual contains 439 questions
and 350 pages just for the Extra exam.



When you sit down at a VE test session the number of questions you have to
answer over-all to be a Tech, General, or Extra class is less than it used to
be and that's not including the questions lost when CW was dumbed down.
