Well, this doesn't seem very relevant for folks here in
rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors. We think the requirements
should include being able to bench press a Collins R-390
and being tested on changing coupling capacitors with the
B+ live.

Other folks may consider other tests, for example testing
someone for the ability to hold down the key for ten minutes
straight while shouting "This is my channel, you don't own
this frequency" over and over again. This is a skill that
is becoming increasingly popular.
