Default How to get Amateur Radio Licenses

How long are we going to have to read all these posts from the cry-babies
waaa-waaaing over getting rid of that out-dated and out-moded code test.
Fer cripes sakes, get on with it and use this modernization of the service
to attract more people into ham radio.

Subject: Amateur Radio Licenses
Washington D.C.-

It was announced today that Kellogg's and the Federal Communications
Commission have signed a pact to issue Amateur Radio Licenses on specially
marked boxes of Corn Flakes.

In this unprecedented move the FCC believes this will not hurt amateur
radio but allow all individuals to receive an amateur radio license
without having to
demonstrate any skills with the exception of being able to use a pair of
scissors to cut out their operating permit from the breakfast cereal box.

Kellogg's spokesperson commented that they were proud to have been
selected
by the government to be the issuer of licenses for amateur radio in the US
and
hope to soon make an agreement with other cereal loving countries. They
also expect that will be issuing certificates of achievement for DXCF for
confirmed
contacts with 100 corn flakers.
