A "Codeless Revolution?"
"KH6HZ" wrote in message ... There will ultimately be two classes of ham radio license. Tech, and Extra. Or Class A and Class B. A VHF+ entry-level license, and a license with all privileges. Just as I suggested in my Y2K NPRM restructuring comments, I might add. I disagree. My bet is that we'll indeed have a de facto two level license system but I think they will be General and Extra. The step from Tech to General is not that difficult and the licensee will have access to all modes, power levels and bands. Unless you are into DXing, contesting or being a VE, the additional privileges that Extra licensees have are not that much of an advantage. I, for one, encourage all those studying for Technician to go ahead and get the General study guide and go for it either at the first sitting or as soon as possible thereafter. The Technician will be basically turn into a very temporary way station on their climb up the ladder. In my opinion, the Technicians who stay at that level will primarily be those who are inactive.
