The FCC thinks that Technicians are adequately tested on that, for all
authorized modes and technologies. There are no modes or technologies
authorized for amateur HF/MF that are not also authorized for amateur
VHF/UHF.
So there is no absolute need for any of the General or Extra written tests
*except* perhaps a few regulatory and propagation questions.

Jim, your strawman is aflame, because I just ****ed flaming napalm on it.

Hans,

It's not a strawman at all. It's a logical conclusion.

Can you show where my argument is logically invalid?

If someone really wanted to gut the written tests of most theory using
arguments similar to those used against the code test, how would you defend the
written tests?

W5YI and others have said that the entry-level *written* tests are too hard. So
it's not something nobody but me is looking at.

You might want to take a look at what has happened to the number of new
Technician licenses issued since the new Tech Q&A pool was put in place a while
ago.

Grow up.

Hans, I am saddened that you revert to personal attack and talking down to
someone who presents an argument you dislike. At least you didn't send me to an
Amish rake fight.

73 de Jim, N2EY
