While this argument has been running amok for many years and probably
will for many more, it will never come to a conclusion that will please everyone. I, personally, would like to see the code requirement dropped, but I do see the point of the "old-timers" that the requirement helps to keep out the "less-desireable" people. I am still studying the code, so that I can pass it, whether the requirement is dropped or not. However, for the people that would like to see all the requirements dropped, so that they can have their license with no effort, there is already a class for them...CB and GMRS. Through CB, they have HF and unless they make themselves a major nuisance, they can do almost anything they want. With GMRS, they can have fun in the UHF band and even use repeaters and some of the other electronic "toys." Just my two cents. Guy P.
