Andy, I know about time constraints. I, like you have work plus OT, home and
family to take care as well, but before I was licensed, I found the time
because I was motivated by the fascination of using radio. The studying was
simply crammed in when I could. So what's the solution? We're all very busy,
Free Licenses now? I'll bet that when CW is dropped, the NCI will change to
the NTI (No Test Int.). As I read from their web site & from members, it
really seems to be the direction they're going.

5WPM Bill, 5WPM, how much more easy does it have to be? The written is
simple & the CW test a joke. I know of 7 year olds that passed a 5WPM CW
test & are still licensed hams today, no Doctorates, just determined.

7 year olds have a lot more time than those of us in the working world
with
children of our own and spouses going back to school as well as volunteer
commitments.
