Washington D.C.-

It was announced yesterday that Kellogg's of Battle  Creek, Michigan, and 
the Federal Communications Commission have signed a  pact to issue 
Amateur Radio Licenses on specially marked boxes of Corn  Flakes.

In this unprecedented move the FCC believes this will not  hurt  amateur 
radio but allow all individuals to receive an amateur  radio  license 
without having to demonstrate any skills with the  exception  of being 
able to use a pair of scissors to cut out their  operating  permit from 
the breakfast cereal box.

Kellogg's  spokesperson commented that they were proud to have been 
selected by the  government to be the issuer of licenses for amateur 
radio in the US and hope  to soon make an agreement with other cereal 
loving countries.  They  also expect that will be issuing certificates 
of achievement for DXCF for  confirmed contacts with 100 corn flakers.
