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


Actually as a point of interest, and maybe a little trolling, Just WHY
should there be testing for a ham license?

Isn't limiting access to the Airwaves to only those who pass some kind
of test Elitist?

NO


What of those who simply aren't smart enough to pass a test? are they
not human and have rights?

That is what CB is for.



As for RF safety, I would point to the successful efforts of Motorcycle
riders to abolish helmet rules. It should be the individual's
responsibility to decide if RF safety matters are important to him or her.

At 1500watts output don't you think the neighbors would have some input?


As for mode specific questions, they have no business asking me about
modes of operation that I am not interested in.

Agreed. That way you can only operate the basic modes. CW or SSB. And
take another test when you want to move ahead.


No Test International could be born now!

No, the terrorists need them.


Thoughts?
