Seems to me that they should bump up the current General class to
Advanced class.
This way people who worked hard to get to General will not be locked in
with the no code
folks. That seems fair?.


They're planning on eliminating the Advance Class license.

Just had a note from a friend of mine. An Advanced, 13wpm licensee. He was
very unhappy that he will be 'lumped' into the new 'welfare extra' class.
Can't say as I blame him one bit.

Exactly what I was thinking Dan.

They'll get the HF bands and not appreciate what they have becuase they
didn't have to work for it. Just like everything else in this country.
Make
it conveient or I'll complain and bitch about it and find someway to MAKE
you change it for me. I deeply appreciate my PRIVILEGES on HF because I
worked hard to get them.
I guess the next step is 4 watts RMS and 12 watts PEP and Channelize the
bands and of course NO TESTING!!!! God forbid we should ask them to take a
test..

I am not familiar with the plan the FCC has but it will be interesting to
see if the advanced class is treated fairly.

You will be grandfathered to Extra Class. :-)

The FCC dropped the Advanced as a new ticket but retained present
holders- and could be renewed. This way they don't. You finally get
what you really earned by taking the older test.

:-)

we'll be just another bunch of CBers.
look at the cesspool of the citizen band.
that's what 'unlicensed' does.

That is exactly why they should keep it. People who worked for their
General

and passed the code test should not be combined with those who did not.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Isn't this the same thing that happened to the CB culture
in the mid to late 70's? Back then you had to license, but
all of a sudden that was too inconvenient. So licensing was
eliminated and every hemorrhoid could get a radio and ruin
the band.
