Even if code is dropped they should have to take the written. What is so hard to understand about that? Absolutley nothing! The FCC has made references to the Streamlining. It will be alot of work in order to change the system, but in the long run, it will be much easier to maintain. Think about it, they will only have to maintain 3 groups of licenses, Novice, General and Extra instead of 6, Novice, Tech, Tech +, General, Advanced and Extra. Like I said, it does not make the system easier to maintain. For current license class, the database only needs a single field. It doesn't matter if there is a choice of 3 possible entries or 6 possible entries. It's a single keystroke in a single field. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE I should correct myself, it wont make the system easier to maintain, however it will reduce the amount of paper work, printing supplies and confusion at the testing site and printing facility. Therefore it will help reduce confusion at the FFC offices. The FCC generally doesn't even see the paperwork anymore. The VECs enter it right on-line. Thus there is no confusion at the FCC offices as they aren't doing any of the work. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
