I've been saying that for months. If you take one step outside of
amateur radio circles, they know NOTHING about any changes to the
licensing system.



To a large extent, that is expected from those who aren't really
interested in amateur radio. The word will filter slowly to the general
public. I've been seeing a number of the ARRL "Hello" commercials
recently, which is a help. But it will still take a while

I am a little surprised about those who are interested and still don't
know.
