funnily enough a lot of the poor operating procedure I hear is from callsigns which are likely to be RAE holders,
i'm unsure why you think the three step system did little to encourage technical advancement (and oddly enough often those saying this do so from behind their shiny multi- thousand GBP radios, attached toa commercially made antenna via a radio fooling unit, especially when the foundation did ( and may well return to ) have practicals and the Intermediate practicals were a feature until thedecision made over remote invigilation to drop the practicals in the light of 2019 syllabus .
As others have pointed out it was possible to sit the RAE as a 'private candidate' and that is contained no practical assesments ...
