Don't know if I 100% agree with your code speeds but I do thing the NO Code
should be for 1 year and none renewable.
I had to take my license in front of the FCC and not so VE who may or may
not help you out to get a license.
As I am a big VHFer I don't know how these NO Code guys are going to
understand beacons. They are all code and most at 10 ~ 20 wpm. I guess the
next thing will be, they will want all beacons either digital or voice. YUK!
Not up in the GHZ range yet but maybe some day.

Anyone going to visit the FCC website please leave them these ideas in
their comment box, Thanks.

Leave them yourself. Enter your comments with dots and dashes.

3-Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.

Thats too whimpy. Morse code = Ham Radio, right?

Make it 20wpm for general, 30wpm for Extra.

Require extras to answer 100% on ALL questions of ALL element question
pools in on ONE sitting with no multiple choice. You're not "extra" if
you can't do that.

Stop granting type acceptance to any radio that can transmit or receive
on the extra portion of the band (just like the rule for the cell phone
frequencies). Extras should be building radios, not buying them.

4-Make the no-code license one year non-renewable.

Eliminate the no code license, wait ten years for the hobby to die, then
give 2.3ghz to WiFI, 5.7 to WiMAX and auction the rest off to the
highest bidder.

Looking forwards to working you on the 10ghz-and-up contest this
weekend, Glen
