An amateur radio license is an entry level license. There are a few classes - ONE class is entry level. They are all entry level. The Extra class license allows entry into the Extra class frequency segments. An amateur license is not a status symbol. Its only worth is the privileges granted. In the 1950's, generals, conditionals, advanced, and extras all had the same frequency privileges. I would like to see one amateur license granting all amateur privileges so this crazy irrational pecking order nonsense would cease. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

An amateur license is not a status symbol. Its only worth is the privileges granted. In the 1950's, generals, conditionals, advanced, and extras all had the same frequency privileges. Except that there were no advanced class licenses, and the extra was a prestige license. |

As far as I know, there is no governmental PhD class license and therefore no governmental ranks of those with PhDs. An amateur license is not a status symbol. Its only worth is the privileges granted. In the 1950's, generals, conditionals, advanced, and extras all had the same frequency privileges.

You didn't know that Conditional was a General exam taken by mail. You don't know there were many Advanced class hams in the 1950's faithfully renewing their licenses. My Elmer was an Advanced licensee. Here's a quote from a 1957 ARRL License Manual: "Holders of Advanced Class licenses may renew them so long as they can comply with renewal requirements." -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
