If you bumped the Generals up to Advanced, you would start a war
because the Advanced users had to take a harder written test.
Remember, they had to work harder for it! Would everyone be happy if
there was just one license class for voice and have a code endorsement
if they passed the code? The last post kind of sounds more effective
than any I have heard in years since all this restructuring stuff
started. Keep all class licenses and just add a + to there license for
CW. Also allow the ones who want to talk voice do so on HF. By the
way, How many CB'rs do you know that can actually afford and expensive
Kenwood rig capable of going down that far anyways?

Seems to me that they should bump up the current General class to

This way people who worked hard to get to General will not be locked in
with the no code
folks. That seems fair?.

Here is the best solution.

Return everyone back to NOVICE, CW only on 80, 40, 15 meters.

Allow ONLY EXTRA CLASS present holders that have passed the 20 WPM test to
operate the rest of HF.

Dannie Boy, the supposed "CW GOD" ranted:
Return everyone back to NOVICE, CW only on 80, 40, 15 meters. Allow ONLY
EXTRA CLASS present holders that have passed the 20 WPM test to
operate the rest of HF.

And re-test Extras every 2 years...2 years w/o privileges if they don't pass a
250 question test and 20WPM...and drop 'em to Novice if they're caught cussing
on the band...or pull their ticket. THAT will open up some of the bands!

Humph..think I'll stay on 6M CW/SSB....seems like a better class of folks up
there.

Besides, if Dannie Boy's solution went into effect, we'd HAVE no Amateur
Service. This is EXACTLY what some in the FCC would like to
accomplish.....they could then sell off the rest of the freq. spectrum. Big $$
in their pockets!

A

GREAT idea Dan! SparksDan/W4NTI wrote:
