That's why dumbing down ham tests is bad. Having a license doesn't mean anything. If we made getting a driver's license more difficult, would people appreciate it more? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

If we made getting a driver's license more difficult, would people appreciate it more? no we would have more unlicensed drivers (and uninsured ones) Indeed I think the current promotes more of an "I earned so I can do whatever i want attiutde" than any increased respect for the rules -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
