"N2EY" wrote 1) Back in '78, the students learned Morse Code as part of their CG training, so there was no other training needed for them to get Extra Class amateur licenses. Today, they would need to put in some of their own time, and a bit of effort, learning Morse at 5 wpm for that test. You know Jim, the more I ponder this paragraph, the more I think you may just have hit on an important way of grading the dedication (and therefore "value") of any given amateur licensee. Well, that wasn't my intent at all. I was merely pointing out that for some folks, getting a license involves a lot of learning and the related effort, while others already have the skills and knowledge. The point is that licensing should be based on one's demonstration of the required qualifications, no more, no less. If someone already has the knowledge to pass the tests, fine. There is no "value added" in "making them work for it" ... if they have the knowledge they are qualified, period. (and likely they worked for it or they wouldn't have the knowledge anyway, so the logic of "making them work (more)" fails) Carl - wk3c |
