I don't think so, Mike. While I do see comments here and there, I don't
see a growing consensus for a need to change the written tests, much less a
growing consensus on any specific change to those tests. I suspect the vast
majority would agree those tests are needed and are just fine as they are.
Instead, I hope we can finally focus on more fully using the frequencies we
have. Of course, I don't see any growing consensus for that either, but one
can hope.
