Default New Amateur License

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.
