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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
