Same here as well, but the basic would get full privileges except power,
limited to 200 watts (who needs much more than that anyways) on only 2
bands, one HF and one VHF/UHF band. At least I remember I had some thought
like that.....

I like it Jim. I suggested to FCC years ago to go with a 3 tier license
structure. My major difference was to make the diverse modes a 'add on'
to
the license. Instead of power restrictions.

Would be a lot easier to regulate that way. Having to test for a 'add on
endorsement' would still maintain the technical aspects of the ARS. And
provide a way of continued learning.

Just a thought.
