Hams just want to be appliance operators these days and they don't want license exams that will interfere with them getting to those appliances even though it means being less worthy. I don't see anyone modernizing like everyone says is happening. They just get their licenses and grab a microphone. What percentage of hams have a computer connected to a radio? Probably less than 30%. Hams don't want to modernize. Guess we just have live with inferior operators on the bands from here on out. Get on PSK. Most people on most digital modes still roll their own, at least a little. |

OK then, Since we all want to be proficient, how about this: I am reading Step 1: No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass all elements required for their license class. not the worst idea but unlikely to be put in place Step 2: The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%. why? again not the worst idea but why bother Step 3: Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra. and why is it that you hate the ARS? Step 4: Make the no-code license one year non-renewable. since this wold kill the ars within a single renwal cycle your proposal would kill off the ARS n 10 years or less why do you hate the ARS SC |

OK then, Since we all want to be proficient, how about this: snip exactly the same proposals SC has made before, concerning which he's stated that "99%" of the people on USENET "hate", and which contain positions even more radical than those which have already been rejected by the FCC. Trolling again, SC? Pity. If you were actually willing to engage in a productive discussion you might actually do some good, but I don't see any evidence of that.
