Which means that the methods and standards of the military, the workplace, the guild/craft/union or professional associations don't apply to amateur radio. Even under such an argument, the role and purpose of amateur test requirements must be justified by more than just tradition, values and other vague and subjective aspects. With all due respect, Bill, Isn't that statement really a subjective opinion? I mean, when you get right down to it, almost everything in the test process is there or is not there because of someone's subjective opinion that it's "reasonable" or "necessary". It's a HOBBY. It's an avocation. Meaning it's done for its own sake. But however someone chooses to describe it, does the fact that amateur radio isn't the military, a workplace, a guild or craft or union or association of professionals mean that there is no need for amateur radio to have values, and standards? That seems to be your main message here. The message is the same as that stated by the FCC in R&) for 98-143... Rules must be justified. (SNIP) Sure - that's the easy part. The tough part is "what constitutes justification?" And the point I was making still remains valid. Since amateur radio is not the military, a workplace, a guild or craft or union or association of professionals, its requirements should not be governed by those groups. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
