The ARRL's latest licensing scheme is driven by money.

The league will achieve its goal by spreading cash to the correct
FCC managers. The FCC has no shortage of corrupt
management officials, ready to accept a bribe for anything.

ARRL is no friend of amateur radio.

Interesting seeing as how many of the ARRL's past proposals were turned
down.

True, but with the FCC they could butcher it up so bad that the Novice
equivelant would be Extra no code.

The point I have is the ARRL has proven beyond a doubt they are a bunch of
world class hypocrites. They trash ham radio with 'Incentive Licensing' to
FORCE hams to upgrade and 'improve'. Then 40 years later they totally
reverse themselves. Bullcrap. The league has shown their true colors to
me. Money Money and more Money.

The historical articles state that the FCC forced it down everyone's throat
and the ARRL tried to fight it.

Well, some FCC brearucrat botched the lifetime code credit thing. You
get lifetime
credit for passing a 5wpm, but not for 13 or 20. So we need to look
closely at
what they write up....

Me thinks that different people are in charge there now then back 40
years ago.

Na, there all the same at ARRL Just difference faces.

True, different folks. But of a similar mind set. They do what they want
WITHOUT the input of the alleged voting members. Same crap, different day.
