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.

There are many and varied definitions of "consensus" among the
newsgroupies in here. In the main, they consider "consensus" as
being anything that they and their close acquaintences agree upon.
