oh, are they dropping the written test to? are they just
going to give away the license to all hams that pay
the fee?

or are they, in fact, still requireing a knowledge test?
ah, yes. I'm sure they are.

Very observent, they *are* requireing a knowledge test.

But you know they really DON'T have to.

If you thing they have to, tell me the reasons why.

To at least be reasonably sure that the applicant knows where he can put
what kind of a signal.

It is also handy in a enforcement situation. When some fool runs 10kw on
top of a broadcast station the FCC has grounds to nail his butt.

See how simple that is?
