I've built HF and VHF antennas,

and Ohio, in that order.

Who is puffing out his chest now?

BAM!

The hammer on THAT nail HAD to hurt!

But you can't seem to tell us anything about the /T5 operation.

Just don't be so jealous.

I'm not.

...Jealous of what? Fantasizing?

Besides, I don't see your name behind "Invented SSTV."

Nor yours besides "invented anything".

BAM AGAIN!

The hammer falls again and accurately so!

You want one class of license, fine. Here's how to do it:

First, put aside the code test issue and concentrate on the writtens.

Second, close off the Tech and General to new issues.

What? No learners permit?

Nope. You said you want one class of license, no class distinctions, no merit
badges. A learner's permit would mean a two-tiered structure.

You said one license. That means one class of license - no learner's permit.

Or were you lying about wanting one class of license?

It wasn't "lying", Jim...it was Creative Rhetorical Alternative
Posting. I'll let you enjoy the acronym.

At the end of 10 years we'd all have the same license class and all have
passed the same test to get it.

No, we wouldn't. Regardless of how many times we re-invent the
wheel, those of us currently licensed will never have gone through the
same "drill" to get where we are.
