My opinion would not be much better than the local weatherman's forecast -
and that is less than 50% I'd guess a couple of years. Maybe more,
unlikely much less. Again, just a guess. It is too bad some folks are so
anti-no code. Good safety (rf, ac, and proper grounding) along with
reasonable practical exams (where you can operate and power/mode
limitations) should be sufficient for the general ticket (in my opinion;
others may well disagree). The extra is probably about right as it
currently is; more questions, perhaps, on different modes. Modulation
techniques, whatever - but I'm straying from the question (which is to say I
haven't the foggiest - I'm guessing two years would be a minimum unless the
ARRL were to petition the FCC and, although they are a good organization,
they also are realistic politicians; meaning they don't want to rock the
boat too much too quickly
