I always thought they should have had a higher Amateur
class available.??

It used to be called the Amateur Extra and then they gave it privileges
with Incentive Licensing back in the '60s. As I understand it, it was an
acheivement certificate that did not confer any additional operating
privileges above General prior to IL.

For all I care they could drop the current names and call it Amateur First
Class, Amateur Second Class, and Amateur Third Class that would map well
to Extra, General, and Technician as they will be after the R&O becomes
effective. Or, as prior to WWII, Class A, Class B, Class C. I guess
that's too logical for today's world. But, I digress. :-)

I suppose that now a person can get their BSEE, MSEE, PhD, etc.
