You and I both. Did you post your prediction for the "pool" (as to where
ARS licensing numbers will be in another year? I said -1 to 0% change.


Yes, since it is my pool!

While I'm sure there are *some* people who will get licensed now there is
no code test, I do not think it will result in any meaningful numbers
added to the service. I suspect what you will see are a rash of upgrades
as Techs obtain HF privs. I wouldn't be surprised if, for the first time
in many years, we actually saw a *decrease* in the number of licensed
Techs (which, at the moment, is the only growing license class sans the
Extra class)


What then will people propose?


Why... its those NASTY, pesky THEORY examinations that are holding people
away, naturally.



You do know that one definition of insanity is when you keep doing the same
thing (changing requirements) but expect different results!
