Bottom line, if you want the priveleges, you takes the test (and that
pretty
much holds true for anything), you don't get to 'cherry-pick' the
particular
things that you feel comfortable with being tested on, or that which
YOU
feel
YOU have a use for.

You're sounding more and more Liberal with each post!

And you're sounding like the typical code zealot. You'd make the perfect
elitest liberal.

Are you currently licensed?

Nope. I'm waiting to see how the current license thing shakes out. Been
meaning to for awhile now. I listen in on some 2m nets and stuff via the
scanners and am starting to get the bug to talk insted of listen.

From what I've seen the current ham tests are just like what Microsoft had
for NT certification. Petty easy to pass with some memorization. But MSFT
got wise and made the tests harder with each OS release. It would be fairly
easy to make the tech test harder by not publishing the answers. You'd get a
better quality of hams then instead of people with good memory who can
barely do code.
