What do you think would be a good division knowledge wise between the
classes? The tech and general are not too bad now, knowledge to
privileges. I lean a bit toward having the Extra require a bit more
knowledge, or perhaps experience. I know a few no-experience Extra's and
it just seems (to me) that some "time in grade" might make the license
more meaningful.

Man you got that right Mike. It was that way, decades ago. The extra
used
to mean something. Now it means squat.

Don't believe me? Look at the before and after code gutting. I was going
to get a fancy 1X2 years ago. Glad I didn't now.

All the 1x2 sequentially assigned calls were gone long before the 20wpm code
was dropped.
