Yes, I and can see a lot of 2 meter gear being sold/modified for use -
where?

I personally see no need for Morse, but do have a concern about the
continuing movement to reduce technical requirements.


There is virtually no difference between the current General and
Technician written exams.

I took both. You are wrong.



This would include
grandfathering techs to general. Folks have been killed trying to erect
towers.


That's funny... there are 11 questions in the Technician question pool
on TOWER SAFETY... and there are 0 questions in the General question
pool.

Technicians have towers too. And a general has taken the Technician
test, so they got the info.



Perhaps everyone believes that if you have a license you actually
know something.


Apparently, recent Technicians know MORE than recent Generals, in
regards to your litmus test issue of TOWER SAFETY.

Litmus tests, dams breaking? WTH, mate?
