Those Old Study Guides

So do "we" want new hams to have a broad-shallow knowledge or a narrow-deep knowledge? Do "we" want Swiss Army Knife type hams or quantum electrodynamic photon experts? I suggest the former would be more valuable to the "service". Seems to me that a ham who is a jack-of-all-trades- and-master-of-none would be more valuable to the "service" than one who is ignorant of most trades and master of one. There are so many more possibilities in Amateur radio these days. Lots of possibilities for test questions. RF safety, spaec station operations. More bands to have those stupid band questions. Seems like a good thing to me. We often hear (and I believe) that the test is a starting point, not an end. Exposure to the many facets of Amateur radio can only be better than lots of questions about just a few subjects. - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - |
