The FACTS are that you made a stupid assertion that was easily refuted by
a
bit of time spent researching the database.
Extra class or othrwise, your "greeater than half" assertion is/was
wrong.
OK, fine. Hans made a mistake.
The bigger question is: Should we put up with the system as described?
Seems to me that all that would be required to fix it would be to require that
FCC would only issue or renew licenses for those persons who were either US
citizens or resident aliens. And all VEs must meet the same criteria.
That way, N3KIP can have his license and US military personnel can take their
exams in Tokyo, but the giveaway stops.
It's not just about callsigns - it's about the integrity of the system.
