Bob:

Your daughter can have full amateur privileges on the VHF and higher
bands without taking a code test. All she has to do is pass a fairly
simple written test to get her Technician-class license, and she can
be happily kerchunking local repeaters and keeping in touch with you
to both your heart's content. Moreover, if she doesn't bother to whine
about not having HF phone privileges because she cannot be bothered
to learn Morse code at a dismally slow 5 WPM, nobody will any
problem with her whatsoever.

And if she waits a little longer, she will have HF anyway!

That's the good 'ole American Spirit! Just wait until everything is
dumbed-down to your level, and it's yours! Perhaps the FCC
should be called in to consult on Florida's ballot system!
