Suppose the new Q&A pool really is the cause of this dropoff. Will we

Will we see a movement to reduce (again) the level of written testing,
the number of licenses, etc.?


I am inclined to say there will be a push to reduce requirements if
that happens. At the moment, every issue seems to gravitate towards
Morse CW requirement. This question needs revisited after the
requirement is dropped, if it is dropped.

And my opinion is no, we shouldn't reduce the requirements.

While I obviously support eliminating the Morse test, I do NOT
support ANY lowering of the requirements on the written tests.
(Felt I needed to state that again ...)

The written tests can be made "better" (that does not necessarily
mean "more difficult") by adjusting the question pools to reflect
modern technology, RF/electrical safety, rules/regs, and operating
practices. And, while there is a minimum ratio of questions in the
pool to questions on the tests, there is no maximum number of
questions that can be in the pool ... those who think (and I disagree)
that the question pools are simply "memorized" can push the NCVECs
to increase the number and diversity of questions in the pools.
