[Boatanchors] Novice Redux

[K5MYJ]

The original Novice ticket was for non-technical people. They only had to 
know the operating rules and send and receive CW at 5WPM.

What was wrong with that.

Let them do CW at any speed on HF and 2M FM. Neither requires any technical 
skill.

Are there any entry level HF radios?
