[CW] FCC Actions

[Ken Brown]

Seems bizarre to me that a license class which is no longer obtainable, 
and is only held by those who renew without upgrading, is getting new 
privileges. Sure Advanced Class licensees have passed a more rigorous 
written exam than generals, and so perhaps they deserve more than 
generals. Then what about Extras who passed a 20 wpm test, and have to 
share all of the spectrum with 5 wpm (including multiple choice code 
test) extra hams.

Oh well, I guess there is no point in expecting FCC actions to make any 
sense.
