Makes you wonder what they some of them really want to make the hobby 
become in the next few years..

At this point Mr. Roderick, with Mr. Walstrom seconding, MOVED to amend the 
motion in the following respects:
    * The element 1 examination requirement will be preserved for the 
General Class license, as well as for the Amateur Extra Class license
    * In order to merge license classes so as to arrive at a total of three 
classes, the merged classes will be accomplished as follows:

Novice Class licensees remain Novices. Technician Class licensees who have 
not passed an element 1 examination become Novice Class licensees. All 
other Technician Class licensees become General Class licensees. All 
Advanced Class licensees become General Class licensees.
    * If possible, the foregoing mergers will be accomplished automatically 
by FCC, without the need to file FCC Form 605. However, FCC may require 
Form 605 if the licensee wishes to have issued to him or her a new license 
document.

After discussion, Mr. Roderick's motion to amend FAILED.

Mr. Goddard, seconded by Mr. Butler, then MOVED to amend the proposal by 
reducing the transmitter power limit for the proposed Novice Class license 
to 10 watts on any band listed. After discussion, Mr. Goddard's motion to 
amend FAILED.

The Board was in recess from 3:11 PM until 3:33 PM.

Mr. Stinson, seconded by Mr. Butler, MOVED to amend the motion by adding 50 
kHz to the bottom end of each HF CW/data band in the privileges for the 
proposed Novice license. After discussion, the motion to amend was ADOPTED.

Mr. Isely, seconded by Dr. Weaver, then MOVED to further amend the motion 
to include subbands for Novice licensees in Regions 1 and 3 of 3750-3800 
kHz (phone) and 7025-7050 kHz (CW/data). The motion to amend was 
unanimously ADOPTED. With no further discussion, the question then being on 
the original motion as twice amended, the motion was ADOPTED as amended 
(Applause.)
