I am willing to bet that you've got the right combination, at
least for now, Bert.

I see a two class license structure on the next "restructuring"
round. That's not to say I like it or support it, but I bet that's
where we end up.

I think enough folks have
written to the FCC, as well as their elected officials, (Some of whom
have a say in the FCC's budget.) and expressed their wishes that we not
follow suit with the nations that have completely dropped the code from
their licensing process.

A-yup.
