The only problem is, how would the question pool be kept

At this point in the discussion, I'd certainly consider that a
question which would need to be addressed in the implementation.

How could FCC be convinced, after a quarter-century of
published Q&A pools and the VE system, that this new license class
needed a different exam system than all the rest?

By a well constructed proposal which effectively demonstrates the
benefits of a renewed spirit of experimentation and innovation by
hams.


The problem I see with that is, who defines 'experiment' or
'deliberate interference'?


Who defines 'deliberate interference' now. K4ZDH comes to mind.

The definition of what would qualify as an experimental mode (not
currently in use) would be a trival administrative exercise.

I could see the license being used as a way around mode-subband
restrictions, rather than real experimentation.

Yes, Jim, there will always be some sea-lawyers who will try to
exploit 'cracks' in the regulations.

Obviously my PBI above is not a finished product and does not address
all the potential 'problems' and 'abuse opportunities'. I'd like to
consider it as a starting point for positive discussion. Thank you
for your participation in that spirit.
