Andy, I know about time constraints. I, like you have work plus OT, home and
family to take care as well, but before I was licensed, I found the time
because I was motivated by the fascination of using radio. The studying was
simply crammed in when I could. So what's the solution? We're all very busy,
Free Licenses now? I'll bet that when CW is dropped, the NCI will change to
the NTI (No Test Int.). As I read from their web site & from members, it
really seems to be the direction they're going.

5WPM Bill, 5WPM, how much more easy does it have to be? The written is
simple & the CW test a joke. I know of 7 year olds that passed a 5WPM CW
test & are still licensed hams today, no Doctorates, just determined.

7 year olds have a lot more time than those of us in the working world

with
children of our own and spouses going back to school as well as volunteer
commitments.

When ham radio gets easier, as evidenced by the attitude of the no-code
technician posts, it will become more caotic. Soon every car audio dealer
will have all band all mode stuff out of china on the air in every car, just
like they are trying to do to the GMRS radio service with the advent of the
GMRS/FRS combo talkies, and all you hear on them is garbage from folks that
dont know how to be respectful. And why? Because they didnt earn the
PRIVILAGE (not "the right") to be on the air and therefore treat it cheaply.

amateur radio reeeaaal easy are winning the game!

Operating an amateur radio station is a privelege, just as is driving an
automobile, and could be revoked at any time (ask any of the dozens of hams
every year that have their licenses revoked for various infractions).
