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.

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

You're right Advanced was harder, Extra was just a bunch of rules, very
little theory.

Maybe Riley H. should take a look at the people who ran your Extra
Class examination. If it is as you said, then they didn't do it right.

Help me out here, Clif. The FCC hasn't tested in many years, and I
can't find any Extra Class holders under your name in the FCC database???

You're right, I never passed the code. Something about tinny headphones and
a noisy room. Except for Novice all my tests were given by the FCC in their
office downtown.
