Techs still have ALL of 6m & a narrow segment of 10m to hone their skills.
The problems I see, is LAX ENFORCEMENT caused by federal budget cuts at
regulatory agencies such as the FCC.
That's how CB got so bad, they dropped the licensing requirement,
stopped enforcement & net result, is you have CB'rs who don't know any
better.
Not that there are a fair share of Generals and EXTRA'S that run off at
the mouth with little regard of the rules.

Wow, you sound like the technicians are invading "your" territory.
You also sound like you have a problem with those who got their start
in the CB bands over 30 years ago, like me. If the FCC makes this
change then those bands would no longer be just "general band"
anymore. I'm just a "TECHNICIAN" and have been for almost two years
and can say that the changes will not stop me from getting my general
but will get me experience in the bands before I leap off into the
fray. I don't think it will cause any more problems than all ready
exists. Enforcement of current rules is what is needed, not holding
operators back because a few have no respect for the rules.. If you
want amateur radio to grow and not continue it's decline among younger
operators then more operators need to get with the program and welcome
changes that hopefully will do just that. It's not your bands, it's
our bands and I respectfully disagree with your statement.

I concur with Gary. We can not control the Techs that have
invaded the General bad as it is.

I say no. The Technician class in an entry point. If you
have General class privileges on HF there is no intensive to
continue learning about Amateur Radio. The Technician class
is already inundated with with poor operators from the old
Citizen Band radio service. Many of these operators need to
be policed into better operating procedures but there there
does not seem to be any recourse to do so. Allow these
operators to flood over into the General Class operating
prividlges will spell the end to Amateur Radio and doom our
remaining bands to the same QRM as the old Citizen Band.
