Not sure I follow what you're saying here, Mike.

Are you saying 136 would ONLY be available for licensed amateurs?  (I'm not
aware of any rule that would preclude a Part 5 license there.)  Or are you
proposing the experimental license only be open to hams?  (Seems to me the
three or four existing Part 5 licensees have already been too exclusive in
that regard.)

Thanks for any clarification.
