Subject: Can anyone explain why Technicians should be upgraded to
General? From: (stewart) Date: 5/6/2004 5:44 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: (Jason Hsu) wrote in message .com... ... But insisting on meeting all three of these goals requires that Technician licensees be automatically upgraded to General. If it's that essential that there only be 3 license classes, then why not keep the Technician license and upgrade the current Novices to Technician? Because we need to bring back the eliminated entry-level license! No, we don't. All of the Amatuer Radio periodicals are ripe with stories of K I D S passing ALL classes of Amatuer Radio licensure. If a new entry-level license is necessary, then what's wrong with having 4 license classes instead of 3? Because it is UNNECESSARY... the General, Technician, and TechPlus tests are/were virtually identical - ergo, MERGE 'EM ALL! "Virtually identical"...?!?! You really ARE an idiot. Not to mention that you've not been keeping abreast of the question pools. What's wrong with compromising on #1 or #2? Forget it... NO MORE COMPROMISING! It has been attempted over the years, and all these foot-draggers want to do is pull us back to December 6, 1941... 'aint gonna happen McGee... It is 2004, and we have Cell Phones, the Internet, 125 Channels on TV, etc., etc., etc... time for US Ham Radio to join the 21st century. It's already there. Too bad you keep trying to take us back to 1951. Morse Code will now officially be IRRELEVANT (at least as far as Novice and General Classes are concerned). LIVE WITH IT. Hardly irrelevant. The ARRL proposal is PERFECT... time to MOVE ON! No, it's not. - Stewart (N0MHS) Another "zero" worthy of the number. Steve, K4YZ |
