I can well believe that.

They think you shouldn't have
to be proficient at anything to have a ham radio license.

Nonsense. That's an illogical conclusion on your part, and _not_
something which has been stated, or can reasonably be inferred from
the postings that I have seen in these threads.

Hams just want to be appliance operators these days and they don't want
license exams that will interfere with them getting to those appliances
even though it means being less worthy. I don't see anyone modernizing
like everyone says is happening. They just get their licenses and grab a
microphone. What percentage of hams have a computer connected to a
radio? Probably less than 30%. Hams don't want to modernize. Guess we
just have live with inferior operators on the bands from here on out.


Get on PSK. Most people on most digital modes still roll their own,
at least a little.

OK then, Since we all want to be proficient, how about this:
I am reading


Step 1: No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass all
elements required for their license class.
not the worst idea but unlikely to be put in place

Step 2: The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.
why? again not the worst idea but why bother

Step 3: Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.
and why is it that you hate the ARS?

Step 4: Make the no-code license one year non-renewable.
since this wold kill the ars within a single renwal cycle

your proposal would kill off the ARS n 10 years or less

why do you hate the ARS SC

snip exactly the same proposals SC has made before, concerning which
he's stated that "99%" of the people on USENET "hate", and which
contain positions even more radical than those which have already been
rejected by the FCC.

Trolling again, SC? Pity. If you were actually willing to engage in
a productive discussion you might actually do some good, but I don't
see any evidence of that.
