[Lowfer] New Ham Licensing

[Ed Phillips]

"Hi,

I don't know how many times I've heard now in these various threads on 
this topic complaints that boil down to:

People like me who were not fortunate enough to be born long ago are not 
and never will be as good as those who took harder tests.

What am I supposed to do?  I can only work for and take the tests that
are 
given *now*.  I CAN draw a basic radio circuit.  I can build a basic
radio 
circuit without a schematic.

But it's not only your comments, Dex -- these came from many.  And don't 
misunderstand me -- I have the utmost respect for you and the other 
members of this reflector.

But what can I do?  My parents aren't even as old as most of you, and
one 
of them is already dead.

Sounds like no matter what I do I'll never measure up.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Eric - upgrading to general class (which you all think sucks) Feb 7."

	No one is sugesting that there's anything wrong with getting another
license.  If everyone getting one of the "new licenses" was as involved
as you are there's be no comments at all!  Go for it and enjoy the
privileges you get.
