Experimenter Techs were the norm IMHO before the debacle of license

I may have met one or two Tech experimenters but the only reason they were
Tech experimenters and not General or Extra experimenters was they couldn't
get their code speed up. Which is why I always thought that the concept of
a Tech being an experimenter type license kind of silly.

Heck there is an electronics whiz named Cecil with a web site all about neat
antenna ideas of his. He surely fits the experimenter mold. For eons on
these newsgroups he said he wouldn't have an Extra if they gave it to him.
Absolutely no need said he. But when the code went away guess what. Yup
he's an Extra. So IMO the license class has little to do with being an
experimenter...
