The difference between licence categories is now merely a sop to the few
hams who still retain their licences and want to pull-up-the-ladder behind
them in a pathetic attempt to feel superior. This is what you have just said
this in several paragraphs, but my one brief sentence says it more plainly.

Having several licence classes from CB upwards (is that the right word?) is
an administrative nonsense. Ofcom has already realised this, aided greatly
by RSGB's incompetent bungling in trying to maintain its jobs.

The arbitary categories ARE on the way out, regardless of what you or I may
say about it. We have only to wait and see.



hmmm....

The new announced is totally irrational and, at last, finally exposes the
nonsense of the morse requirement. A Foundation Licensee could no way learn
morse to 5wpm (as well as the other material) in a weekend BUT he will be
let loose on HF. A far better qualified B licensee is denied access because
morse is required for HF access!
