not to worry, it won't be a hurdle or a mountain anymore when
the FCC removes the code testing requirement.

Hello there Clint .....


I agree it will all be a rather moot point but it will be the drip off the
leaf that eventually runs into the sea of a no test amateur radio license.
The future ham will just access the FCC site and type in the info and hit
print. I am not a betting man but Clint I will send you a six pack of Iron
City beer if testing doesn't turn into a 5 WPM like sham or isn't completely
eliminated in 10-15 years.

Here's another possibility, Tom. At some point in the near future, we
will *buy* our licenses from Clear Channel!
