Pathetic lack of leadership
That was apparent when the "begging for dollars" started
with the BPL issue. Not to mention the silliness of the "Diamond Club". Yea I got that Trash also, threw in the Trash where it belongs. |

The structure for new hams is already simplified - Tech/General/Extra. The testing process is already simplified - Tech/General/Extra. You must not have been listening when I told you that the Technician license was far too complex to be an entry level license. Maybe I haven't wasted 17 years of ARRL dues after all. The record keeping is trivial - one field in the database. N/T/P/G/A/E Needless complexity. Ah, thats right, you wanted more license classes. It's a needless pushup to combine the classes. There need not be classes, but a learners permit would be nice. |

Maybe I haven't wasted 17 years of ARRL dues after all. I disagree, the information required to receive a Tech license is not too complex. I've taught classes and have seen people pass that were "dumber than a box of rocks" as they say. Of course, maybe I'm the world's greatest teacher but that's unlikely. Naturally I teach with enthusiasm and take the time to explain whatever needs further development. And I do explain why they need to know this and discuss real world applications from my own experience so that they can see the usefulness of this knowledge. However if the material were too complex, more of these people would have failed. The few who failed admitted right up front that they had not studied the material. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

Seems like the Technician license is just about the right level of difficulty. In my area about 80 percent seem to pass it the first time around. - Mike KB3EIA - |

Maybe I haven't wasted 17 years of ARRL dues after all. I disagree, Oh, no! It would appear then that you have your very first disagreement with the ARRL. They are the ones proposing a new entry level license. the information required to receive a Tech license is not too complex.

Flint, N8UZE You always have the right answers, Dee, and you're always right. Why does anyone else even bother? |
