What ever happened to working hard and learning new things (i.e. Morse Code and Electronics theory) to gain something worthwhile. Not everyone has the priviledge to be a part of the Amatuer Radio community and the licensing is the only thing that keeps it that way. If it continues to become easier and easier to get a license soon you will be looking at a glorified CB. If the off road community had to pass a test of competency, respect and common sense, we would not have the image we do today.
If you want to get licensed do it now and have the pride that I have in passing the Advanced class license in 1982 when I was 17, and have the respect for the Extra class license holder that could pass the 20 wpm code test that I could not do.
