Sounds like socialism.


One of the most effective* amateur-radio-license-qualification systems
known was the ex-USS(ocialist)R's.

*effective: Licensees were acknowledged among the most competent
(technically and operationally) anywhere.

And thier licensing system was not a "once size fits all", which is what
you suggested and what socialism bascially professes.

Try again, Hans. Ya came up short...Again.

Nope, it was a "two sizes fits all", including an enforced "apprentice"
permit, sort of like my proposal.

Sunuvagun!

Socialism likes lots of government oversight - like a lot of tests to
make sure that you really, really, really want to be a ham.

Uh huh...enforced.

Just a month ago you were all over my case about a suggest
VOLUNTARY "learner's permit" kind of license.

Now you're praising the idea.

Sunuvagun!

Sunnuvagun indeed. Usual two-faced, It's OK as long as I think
about it rhetoric, Hans.

You really ought to work a bit ahrder to keep your stories
straight.

Sheeesh.

Damn, Steve, you're taking on the habits of Len in getting your facts
all muddled up! For years I've been arguing for a learners permit
similar to the old Novice one-term permit. Point your browser to
http://tinyurl.com/wce9 for the proposal I've sent to FCC.

"Just a month ago" I was "all over your case" not about the notion of a
lerners permit, but about your dump huck "can't operate without a
supervisor" license proposal.

Good luck on this one now!

I can see Steve as the Lord High Commander of the Corps that oversees
those newly licensed hams. He's a Gotta be in Charge kind of guy.

No "luck" needed, Hans.

Two faced is two faced, and you've shown both of yours.

Good luck to YOU.

Yep.

Part of that was their license system, which required things like demonstrated
ability as an SWL before getting a transmitting license, and *required* the
construction of equipment of a certain complexity from scratch.

Another part was economic - homebrewing was effectively the only way many
Soviet hams could get on the air.

You've both left out the most important point:

Soviet (and now Russian) operators had/have to LEARN the material they
were/are going to be tested on.
