[AMRadio] I'll vote for 7190

[rbethman]

Excuse me for being only 8 years old in 1958.

However, I've NOT contributed to this "dumbing down" approach to the 
hobby. I did NOT ask for multiple choice questions. I can assure you 
that my code was 100% copy, BUT - the stupid test wasn't random 5 
character groups.

So whom do people hold responsible? The FCC? The ARRL? Or is it 
manufacturer's whom want to sell products?
