I think the top license class should include demonstrating the ability to play the guitar. At just about every QRP get-together all around the country a dozen or more of the "elite" suddenly pull out their guitars and banjos and start playing. It's not advanced technology, but it seems to be what hams do. I don't play the guitar, but a new license class and the loss of some privileges might give me the incentive to learn.
