That's just plain wrong.

But we'll never see agreement on that from Leonard.

Would an arbitrary barrier, such as an age 14 barrier, have prevented
either you or Jim from obtaining an amateur license?

Kelly has already gone on record as having began his amateur career
sans any licensing whatsoever.

Absolutely! They KNEW in advance all the glory,
majesty, nobility of amateur radio and its
attendant rank, title, privileges well before
age 14! They were destined for Greatness from
birth and, to this day, demand all love and respect
their royal titles.

All through loving, cherishing, honoring, and
obeying (the league on) morsemanship!

The Katapult King is above the law. He is from
Philly where all eat hoagies and fill their autos
with "gaz!" :-)

If we don't love, honor, cherish, and obey the
Mighty Macho Moresemen, we all "HATE" amateur
radio!

Tsk, tsk.

I just don't know why these guys get so concerned over arbitrary
requirements, especially when they don't affect them.

You must not be reading much of the material. Jim stated that he
obtained his license at thirteen. Would a minimum age of fourteen have
prevented his obtaining an amateur radio license at thirteen? You bet.

I obtained my license at age fourteen. How could a minimum age of
fourteen have presented a problem?

Correct. What clued you in? Perhaps the question I asked???

You know, I don't hang on every word that Jim types.

Jim stated that he
obtained his license at thirteen.

Which I did not read. Thus the question. See how it works???

Not if he had approached amateur radio like Brian Kelly/W3RV did.

It wouldn't have, David. You are an outsider WRT such an age
restriction, so I don't know why you are concerned.

I certainly do. You have comments and questions but haven't bothered to
read the material.

You'll likely want to take that issue up with W3RV. Make sure you've
read all the applicable material.

Guess what, "bb", there's likely another piece of information of which
you are not aware. There was no age limit for amateur radio licensing
when I obtained my license. Despite the efforts of Leonard H. Anderson,
the FCC has still not seen fit to impose a minimum age limit.

Good luck on your quest for knowledge.

Jim's complaint concerns Len's wish for an arbitrary age 14 requirement
into the amateur service.

Kelly has stated that his first amateur experience was as a bootlegger.
How much more discussion is required?

So don't concern yourself. Len's suggestion never has and never will
affect you.

Any changes made to amateur radio regulation effect those who are
already licensed.

I don't see how. Will you be at least 14 years of age when the FCC
drags you in for a retest?
