2: The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.

Wayyyy too low. 100%! Nothing less...


Hey now wait a minute, 85% is probably the absolute best he (SC) could do -
thus making that the ceiling! So, if you make it 100% - he too wouldn't be
licensed! DAMNED........... that would be a shame.

Don't know if I 100% agree with your code speeds but I do thing the NO
Code should be for 1 year and none renewable.
I had to take my license in front of the FCC and not so VE who may or
may not help you out to get a license.
As I am a big VHFer I don't know how these NO Code guys are going to
understand beacons. They are all code and most at 10 ~ 20 wpm. I guess
the next thing will be, they will want all beacons either digital or
voice. YUK! Not up in the GHZ range yet but maybe some day.

Right on, Bill! Thanks for your thoughts.

It's funny, and most telling. The no-code hams have everything over 30
MHz, but it's the code hams that are the one's moving ham radio forward
and doing anything technical wise. I guess the no-coders are still trying
to figure things out.

If that's true, it's certainly a change from half a
century ago when we HF hams observed the VHF/UHF
hams revolutionizing amateur radio with their
technical expertise.

Not at all. As usual, SC is again proving he is a bitter little man.

And half a century ago those VHF/UHF hams had passed a code test. They
weren't no-coders, they were motivated and did what it took. Today's
no-codes aren't motivated and don't want to make an effort, therefore
they're probably not going to be motivated to move things forward either.

Your defamation is well noted. Democracy just sucks, doesn't it?

Actually, the Technician License was offered with
reduced code requirements for hams who were more
interested in technical experimentation than in
ragchewing.
