an above average IQ.

Easy solution - only award licenses to those with above average IQs.

An amateur radio license is an entry level license.

There are a few classes - ONE class is entry level.

They are all entry level. The Extra class license allows
entry into the Extra class frequency segments.

Using that logic, a PhD oral is an entry level exam - it allows entry
into the ranks of those with PhDs.

An amateur
license is not a status symbol. Its only worth is the
privileges granted. In the 1950's, generals, conditionals,
advanced, and extras all had the same frequency privileges.

Except that there were no advanced class licenses, and the extra was a
prestige license.

but your point?

That if you bought 5 clues you'd still be less than clueless.

The fact that you posted something on your blog doesn't make it
definitive, or even correct.
never claimed otherwise now you are attacking for a having a sig line?

That's not a sig line, it's part of your post. Sigs appear UNDER the
tear (and you don't even have a tear). Put your sig in the signature
area, not as part of your post. (If you can figure out how to use
Agent.)

nope you are claiming to something contary to fact

I'm claiming that I know what I think and you don't - which is a fact.

you are worng it becoming hazing when the subject of the test is
unrelated to the prevlegdes it grannts

Nope - it's just a poor test. Hazing is something entirely different.

you are dancing around sutblies in the menaing of emorizing like mad

In your mind, because you can't understand the simple distinctions.

and in the mind of engineer at least 2 of em and countless others as
well

Degrees don't guarantee competence - 50% of all engineers graduated in
the bottom half of the class.

In a way that you can understand. Since you demonstrate so little

you tread awfully close to libel there AL

Look up the definition of "libel". Part of it is "malicious
defamation". Calling a penny a cent isn't malicious, nor is it
defamatory.

but calling someone a cheat on federal requirement is

Post a link to my post calling you "a cheat on federal requirement" -
or even just calling you a cheat.

ask an lawyer if you don't believe me

You need to take your own advice. Also you need to ask an English
teacher - you don't seem to know the definitions of a lot of very
common words.

that is your peoblem dancing over minutia you don't seem to understand

Pot - kettle - ebon.

History is amateurs having to demonstrate proficiency in Morse code.
those trying to eliminate the code requirement are the ones trying to
alter history. Do you work for the government? It sure sounds like
it. "When we change history it's progress, when you try to change
things back to the way they were, it's 'changing history'."

Like it was "killed" all through the 30s, 40s, 50, 60s, etc.? Code
was required, as was drawing schematics. Yet there were more hams
every year than there were the year before. You have a strange
concept of "kill".
