I have one Mike, W5UC, that insists that our licensing structure is broken and that the ARRL must fix it. I've relayed to him that their isn't much desire, at this point, to change the licensing structure. He didn't like that answer! He is saying that it is too easy to get a license and that the FCC is licensing those that are totally unqualified to be on the bands. My feelings are that we don't test people into being "fully qualified". We test to see if they are qualified to begin learning amateur radio through experience. Anyone have any good answers for Mike?
