What you're seeing is the classic "Law of Unintended Consequences".
If FCC does what they propose, eliminating the code test will also
eliminate any way for Technicians to get any HF privileges except
by upgrade to General.


Perhaps it is not "Unintended". It may be precisely what the FCC wanted to
do. It is a way of increasing the motivation to upgrade. In reading the
NPRM, there is a distinct feeling, IMHO, that the FCC does NOT want people
to stay at the introductory level.
