Morkie Get's It Wrong...AGAIN!

In those days, FCC gave all the tests except Novice. Tests were given in FCC offices all over the country. In addition, if a group could guarantee a certain minimum number of test-takers, FCC would send a traveling-road-show examiner to a club meeting, hamfest, or other gathering. it has it merits but ain't happening anymopre Who says? You? The result was that there was testing available all over the place, but the Q&A weren't available publicly. And consider this: There are classes today that promise "Technician in a day" - and they succeed. indeed they should if they are to advertise such But they are NOT "technicians" any more than you are competent in English, Morkie. Is that a good thing, though? why not? Becuase it's "dumbing down". Please notice that no such exam process exists in any of the countries that are quickly overshadowing us in REAL technology advances...Like Red China, Japan, Singapore, etc etc etc... Do the new hams who get their licenses that way really have the background needed? obviously they do Obviously they can answer the questions. That doesn't make them competent in the material. Witness KB9RQZ as an example. Steve, K4YZ |
