For example, what happens to Techs? Should they all get Tech+ privileges? Seems completely obvious to me that they should. Ditto Novices If the US dispenses with the code test, Techs should get the same as the Tech+ as that would be the simplest and most appropriate change. Novices should stay exactly as they are now. They haven't passed the Tech written and should NOT get a free upgrade to Tech. It simply isn't appropriate. Novices have some HF privileges already anyway. They have demonstrated the required knowledge (and skill) to operate on both HF and VHF. [snip] Seems to me that in a nocodetest future it would make much more sense to let all hams have access to at least partial privileges on most ham bands, rather than continuing the artificial HF vs. VHF-UHF separation. If they merge the Techs into the priveleges of Tech+, all license classes will have some HF privileges. The simplest overall approach is to simply leave the rest of the classes alone except for dropping the code requirement. This requires the least amount of rule changes and paperwork changes. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE Why take the path of least resistant? Why not align the license classes and priveleges into something that makes sense? |
