What level of written testing would you have if FCC adopts your 2 class
structure?
Two levels.
A beginers level similar to our current Technician examination, with a
modest limit on power, and a non-renewable 10-year term.
A regular level similar to our current Extra examination, with power
levels of 1.5KW as now.
Making the second level license examination equivalent to the current Extra
examination sounds like it would drive people out of ham radio. That's
simply too big a jump to expect people to take in one swallow so to speak
especially since this would affect current Technicians who entered the
licensing program under a system with 3 tiers (or more for those who entered
several years ago). It would also take away privileges from existing Techs
in that they are now receive renewable licenses but would not under that
proposal.
