For anything above a Tech. It will still make it easy for someone
to get into the hobby, and see if they wish to advance
in class. If they wish to go up in class, they will pass the 85% test.

How about a USA version of the Canadian solution:

1) No change to license classes.

2) Tech requires Element 2 (Tech written) same as now.

3) General requires a Tech license plus Elements 1 and 3 (5 wpm code,
General written). If Element 3 is passed with 85% or better correct,
credit is given for Element 1.

4) Extra requires a General or Advanced plus Element 4 (Extra written).

No new tests. No extra paperwork other than the VEs determining whether
someone passed Element 3 with 74% or 85%. No reduction in requirements,
just an alternate path.

Why not?

Because all the knowledge in the world cannot hold
a candle to Morse code skill? :-)

That faked website doesn't say if you passed the General test or not,
Markie. You lying child raper.

Morse code is electric smoke signals. Completely obsolete. The Amateur
Radio Service is about wireless communications, not codes and cyphers.

Telephone displaced telegraph on the wires. Radiotelephone replaced
radio telegraph on the air, once modulation was developed. Telegraph is
gone except for a few diehards. Good ridance!

HAW! That's a good one, Cecil!

Glad to see you've finally seen the light ;-)

Seriously, though - the Canadian solution might be the way to
consensus.
