as i said before on this newsgroup.

the poor m3 candidate is ''taught'' and then fed to the cannons in some
sort of ''pump-em-out'' activity to flood amateur radio with
raw-green-beginners in some sort effort that apparently is to lower the
standard and to turn 7mhz into 27mhz.
these unfortunates are then faced with the views of those who know
that the system sucks. these people being those who are not beholding to a
system that requires an rsgb instructor to sign a piece of paper before
they can get a licence.


but as i sad before, m3's themselves should shout for a higher standard.


as i said before...the system is being run by people who refused to
recognise the morse test but now force every candidate to do the morse
assessment!

thats a double-standard if ever there was one.
