Okay, now all you have to do is show where all that (demonstrated
effort,
challenge, earning privileges, a two to three week study effort, and so
on)
is listed in the FCC rules, or furthers the goals and purposes of the
ARS.

Exactly. Bert's comment underscores the core of many who don't
give a hoot about having requirements that make sense...they only
want requirements which, by their measure, constitute a "show
of effort" on the part of all applicants. Sorry...but such a desire isn't
any part of FCC's Part 97 Purpose.

Bill, I give a great big hoot about the regulatory stuff. I assume you're
referring to the regulatory stuff wrt "making sense," since you appear to
discount any form of testing which serves no "regulatory purpose." Exchange
"only" with "in addition to" and we're in agreement. ;-)
