Didn't they find that out with welfare?


You mean the WELFARE system that rewarded the high-rate morsemen
with fancier titles and better privileges, such as in the
"incentive plan" licensing system? Yes. It worked very well,
didn't it?

You seem to have the idea of welfare backward, Len, and you've
introduced a factual error. There was never a class of license under
Incentive Licensing, which provided an upgrade for merely passing a
morse exam.


Factual error? It was called the Tech-Plus. And before you go
calling
me a liar, I'll correct myself and say, "Technician-Plus."

The Tech-Plus came into existence long, long after the implementation
of
Incentive Licensing.

And it wasn't considered an upgrade. It simply allowed them to have not
only their own privileges but the privileges of the "lowest" license
class.


boy you must be popular when you talk to the techs you insult there
licenses


And how is factual data considered an insult?

At the introduction of the No Code Tech

Fact: Novice was the lowest class requiring one written and one code test.
Fact: Tech was a "higher" license class requiring the Novice written & Tech
written but not the Novice code and did not grant Novice privileges.
Fact: To get Novice privileges, Techs had to pass the Novice code.

What is insulting about that?
