1: No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and
pass all elements required for their license class.

Why? Is Amateur Radio a memory test? Make it a lifetime license and
reduce the FCC's workload.


2: The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.

Why not 100%? Are you saying it's ok to screw up 15% of your operating?


3: Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.

Why should anyone be tested for code proficiency if they don't plan to
use it? I can see testing for basic knowledge (dit dah = A), but why
any particular speed? Should people be tested for speed talking before
using voice modes?


4: Make the no-code license one year non-renewable.

All licenses should be no-code. Does the FCC test for speaking ability?

I don't think you have thought this through very well. Go take a nap
and come back after some extended cogitating.
