OTOH I know I'm dangerously close to sounding like an Old Fart. I'm somewhat
disgusted to think that there will be Extra Class licensees that don't know
code but will be indistinguishable from me. (At the same time, the fastest
code test I passed was 13 WPM for my General in 1974, so there are probably
some 20 WPM Extras out there who can't stand to be in the room with me,
either.) For this reason I think they should at least change the names of
the three license classes to "Technician", "Good Test Taker", and "Memorized
the Answer Key" to differentiate from those of us who passed when there was
a code requirement. :-)
And don't forget, "Dues Paying member of the Future Amateur Radio Technical
Sailboaters".
