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.

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..

if you are talking about me, you took what I said all wrong.
I too, appreciate MY PRIVILEGES!!
I don't want to be on the same level with the no code folks.
Although there is nothing wrong with them.
I did work a bit harder to get where I am and folks in my position would feel
cheated.

I can understand the CW issue, but IMHO, its assinine to claim the
Advanced Class written test was as difficult as the Extra Class.


Ed WB6SAT

It's all part of the "dumbing down of America" that has been going on
for the last 20-30 years.

Seems to me it started back farther than that.... probably in the late
60's when the "new math" was being pushed by pointy headed liberal
educators.
