Folks have been killed while driving to the FCC for exams. They
might
have known the material, and they might not have. We'll never know.
So, back to your statement and my question: what does driving a car
have to
do with radio/electronics/rf/ac/dc and safety?
A rhetorical question at best, isn't it, Jim...?!?! =)
A skilled LennieRanter uses such diversions to redirect our
attention from
thier lack of substance in the exchange, Jim!

The point was, "We'll never know (if they knew the material).
Some of you OF's try to make it sound like getting to the FCC office
for an examination was inconvenient at best, or even dangerous. So
you petitioned your government to let you get a mail order license, or
to have some other local ham(s) test you. Lots of hand wringing and
whining.
Huh?
I thought most of the OFs were trying to get the tests a bit more difficult.
You can't have it both ways.
It wasn't the "OF's" who were trying to get the tests thinned out. It was
the Johhny-come-lately 10-4 Good Buddy crowd that wanted NO code test and
written questions that were "in the public domain".
Next, you'll blame the OFs because your washing machine is over-sudsing LOL!
He'll blame anyone for anything as long as it means defering any
responsibility from himself.
The reality is that the real flamers on both ends of the spectrum are the
hold up. That mention of a trip to the FCC being dangerous had no relation
to the material on the test. We could say the same thing about sending our
kids to school. A very few have been killed and/or raped. That is hardly
a reason for not attending school.
These newsgroups get sillier every month, if not every week.
I had high expectations that there would be some sort of meaningful
exchanges here.
Boy did I ever get my bubble broken.
It's a nice place to get that "stomping in the mud puddle" thing out of
your system so you can wash up and go back to "the real world".
