Sure you do, Hans. Aren't you promoting an alternative licensing system
with stiffer tests for newcomers?


Nope. My proposal has a dramatically less strenuous set of qualifications
for newcomers.


The key word is authorized, not expected, required, obligated, compelled,
obliged, or whatever. A person can build radio equipment if he or she

wants,
but there is no mandate to do so.


But there IS a mandate that each licensee is directly responsible for the
proper adjustment and operation of their equipment, including all sorts of
QCAO-unfriendly things like signal purity, etc. 97.307(a) thru (e) come to
mind. Personally, I don't believe that your (misnamed) Technician
qualification examination is adequate to ensure that you can carry out that
mandate.
