Maybe the way out of the mess is for a Smith Chart test to replace
the code test.

Understanding the Smith Chart and being able to use one actually
demonstrates several areas of knowledge and skill. Smith Chart tests
could consist of interpreting a solved problem on one chart, (the
"understanding" test) then solving a different problem on a blank
chart (the "solution" test). At first, most hams and wouldbe hams
would would simply study the Smith Chart and pass the tests.


But then the trouble would start...


Bravo! Funny and relevant.
