That's what you have to decide.

Personally, I would rather have the First Class and Second Class Radio
Telephone back. Thank the broadcasters for lobbying to eliminate that
requirement -- ironic that the industry has been sliding ever since (go
figure) --

That's what happens when you lower standards, why hams don't realize that,
I'll never know. Maybe it's just laziness.

Bill, I had a master machinist work for me in the 1960s. He could make ANYTHING!!

I asked him if he could make a car. Sure!! His reply: "All I need is a block of
steel 6X6X20 feet, a large milling machine, and a large lathe."

He was a Ham Radio Operator, Collins stuff of the 60s.

The question was not if you "could" build you own car, it was "did"
you.

All 'others' for the most part are 'appliance operators'
just like so many CB'ers - IMHO.

Nope. It's "Amateur Radio Operator", not "Amateur Radio Constructor".

I'll ask again: What does construction skill have to do with operator
skill?
