[Boatanchors] Novice Redux

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

Lots of used rigs and even some new ones that are comparatively cheaper

than rigs back in 50s and 60s and perform a helluva lot better.

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?
