It appears that in September of 2016, the ARRL formed a committee, looking
into the possibility of petitioning the FCC to create a new entry level
Amateur Radio license. At this point, they are looking for membership
input.

So if you're a member of the ARRL, please log in to their Web site and take
a survey, by clicking here.

Personally, some of the best times I have had in Amateur Radio occurred
when I was a Novice. I learned so much, most of it by the Amateur Radio
School of Hard Knocks. So, I was very saddened when the FCC ditched the
Novice license. I thought this was an excellent way to enter the Amateur
Radio world, with the focus on operating in the HF bands, not just
VHF/UHF. Not that there's anything wrong with VHF/UHF, but I think opening
up the world of the HF bands is the way to go, keeping interests piqued and
offering endless possibilities.

It will be interesting to see how this all pans out and if anything comes
of it.
