The work required to get that ham ticket is the only thing keeping it
from turning into a repeat of the Citizens Band fiasco. There would be a huge increase in the number of retards on the airways. there's already a number of retards on the ham airwaves. I failed to get my ham radio liscence because of them, even though I know that most of my answers were correct. They just didn't want me to become a ham in order to keep their little ham club "exclusive" to theirselves. and so they abused their priveleges. I heard the local ham repeater frequency in the 144 to 148 mhz band, went to the place they said, paid the money they said ( at least 3 times higher than what it costs roday) and took my test (after studying of course). The questions were not completely the same as the material that the book taught. Most of them were completely different. One of the questions on the actual ham test I took was "What is ATV and what does it refer to" I answered that it stood for "amateur tv" which some ham operators transmit. After the test was over, the examiners (real hams. I had heaard them on my local ham repeater including call letters and lalso listed in the ham directory book) marked that question wrong and told me that that was the wrong answer and that there is not any such thing as "ham tv" or "amateur tv" and that tv is not allowed at all in any ham bands anywhere. They then told me that the correct answer to that question is that "ATV" refers only to ham radio sets that are installed in All-Terrain Vehicles". And that was only one of the questions. They did the same thing with most of the other questions also. marking wrong what was definitely right,. and then coming up with phoney answers that they claimed was the "correct answers" just to keep out people that they didn't want or were predudiced against for some reason or another. So now I say, bring back the days when the FCC gave the liscence exams instead of letting local hams who abuse their priveleges when doing it doing it. |
