I tend to think that a single class of licence would be a good idea,

licence,

than two licences, though.

Then what you'd want, ideally, is a single class of license whose written
test
would at least be equivalent to the current written requirements for
Extra -
all in one go.


It would also need to include those elements from the Tech and General tests
that are not repeated in the Extra class test.

Right you are, Dee.

That would mean an exam of at least 100 questions, allowing for
overlap and the simplification of some rules. And the prospective ham
would have to pass it all in one shot.

Would that *really* be optimum for the ARS?
