   Agreed. Bring back a proper written RAE, a 12 WPM Morse   
   Test, and require the first year of operation to be   
   limited to 10W of CW, supported by a certified logbook.   
      
   Then there'd be no arguments, no complaints of elitism,   
   and no CBers-masquerading-as-radio-amateurs.   
      
   All of us should then be retested in order to retain our   
   licences to ensure that we have kept up with technological   
   developments.   
      
   The setting of the syllabus should be conducted only   
   by those who qualified as Class A.
