Good reason to upgrade then.

Not really. Based on everything that I have read, the object of having a
series of license classes was so that people could take the journey in
smaller, more manageable steps. It does not seem like it was intended that
people would only go part way and say "good enough".

I have recently elmered a woman to her Extra class license. She had no
technical background and little to no experience in amateur radio even
though she had a license (she never really got active). She passed with
flying colors. So any one can do it if they so choose. By the way she is
now quite active in the club, is getting on the air, and she will be joining
me to participate in the November Sweeps. While we will try for the Clean
Sweep, our main goal is to get all states so she can apply for WAS.
