Steve- I knew I was inviting abuse when I asked the question. If you knew a little about the GROL test you might not be so sarcastic. Cappy - if you knew the history of another poster here named Anderson, who posts under several different names and causes a lot of H and D, you would understand Steve's comment. Perhaps Steve will explain it to you in e-mail. I have a license to practice law also. States-wisely grant recirprocity in many situations. I've been arm-wrestling with the State of Oregon over granting reciprocity for my California bar admission for years. Even though the California Bar Exam is a lot tougher than the Oregon exam, Oregon will not grant reciprocity - or even provide the mini exam that California provides to Oregon licensees - because Califonia does not grant "clear" reciprocity as Washington and Idaho do. Who will blink first? Anyhow, I practice Federal law (primarily before the FCC) with no problem but it's just a pain to deal with having to get a local attorney to handle local matters stemming from my FCC practice. I also have a severe learning disability. So taking tests is a mamouth pain where I sit down. And I'm a senior citizen with limited eyesight on the reading level, so I too won't take any more written exams. I'd have no problem passing an oral exam but they don't do it that way. States, and the Ferderal government have a lot of recirprocity in many area from drivers licenses to professional licenses-just in case you didn't know. Not all of us can be or would be as smug just because one has an amateur license. But the bottom line is that holding a Radiotelephone license carries no element credit for the Amateur license and vice versa, because the services and the things that are required to be tested for are radically different. I've held both for over 50 years..... -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon |

(Steve Robeson, K4CAP) wrote in message . com... (cappy anderson) wrote in message . com... I have a general radiotelehone operatorslicense with a radar endorsment. Can I get an amateur license without taking the test(s). No reason why I could take the test but that I am very time constrained. Thanks in advance. Anderson? GROL? Want's to shortcut testing? Is this genetic? Steve, K4YZ Steve- I knew I was inviting abuse when I asked the question. If you knew a little about the GROL test you might not be so sarcastic. I know quite a bit about the GROL, and I have stated that I think there SHOULD be some sort of "bridge test" for GROL holders, ie: questions on Amateur related regulations and practice. I have a license to practice law also. States-wisely grant recirprocity in many situations. I also have a severe learning disability. So taking tests is a mamouth pain where I sit down. Is it any worse than being deaf? I know CW ops who have no "conventional" hearing yet they are able to operate CW and have passed the requisite test. I also know Amateurs who are blind, and they have passed the requisite written tests. States, and the Ferderal government have a lot of recirprocity in many area from drivers licenses to professional licenses-just in case you didn't know. I am quite aware. I also hold professional licensure that requires various endorsements for reciprocity. PITA, but that's the problem of living in a Republic. Not all of us can be or would be as smug just because one has an amateur license. You need to know a bit more about the histroy of another Anderson here who is a bit more than "smug" to understand the "humor" of the moment. I wish you well in pursuit of an Amateur license, and I'd support any RM or NPRM that the FCC issued suggesting such a GROL/Amateur bridge test. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
