Re: [BVARC] [tdxs-list] Expanding Privileges to End Amateur Radio

In terms of experience, I’m an old rookie and I’m all in for new participants in amateur radio, but not at any cost. The modicum of professionalism associated with being a ham is substantially due in part to the incremental privileges derived by testing. This is in line with the premise

Re: [BVARC] [tdxs-list] Congrats to K5GN and N5XZ for wins in IARU
