Arnie, go ahead and let her take your answer. No sense in both of you
being wrong.

Not so fast there, Brian. NCI has been on the record as saying that the
tests should be made less technical. Not a far leap at all to presume they
will try and "dumb" them down even more.

Arnie -

Arnie, citation please. It is the disgruntled PCTA that have
advocated a "No Test International" concept.

I do not speak for NCI, but am on record for saying that the entry
level exam is far to technical for an entry level license, and the
entry level priveleges of 1,500 watts of UHF radiation are far too
great for an entry level safety.

Of course, the Technician license was never meant to be an entry
license, being the consolation prize for General-level knowledge w/o
the outdated, superfluous and irrelevant psycho-motor skills to
twiddle a paddle at 13wpm.

Brian

Still no citation from Arnie concerning his claim that NCI is on
record for less technical exams.
