So my question is, should a bunch of us be able to get together and ask that all the
technical requirements for ham licenses be dropped just because it's hard? That's what

a written test is philosophically no different than dropping the written test and keeping
the code.
Sure....after all, why impede the enjoyment of a hobby by making it difficult to
join? I think you made a very interesting point...and I'm waiting for folks to
have lots of words explaining wny dropping the technical requirements would be
wrong, while they champion dropping the CW requirements.
I think I'll stop posting on this subject now. :-)
