Default Re: Amateur radio licence single exam to full

If the exams are simplified any more then you may as well just issue the license with no exam
CB went dead after a short time due to rouge operators and Amateur radio will just do the same.
The Pandemic opened a method that filled the RSGB coffers but has resulted in so many with a license that have no knowledge of radio and electronics.
A system that only requires memorising answers to questions is just a death wish for the hobby
So many clubs provide correct courses and the all important practical tuition.my Club is very active in tuition and to loose this would start the demise of the club.
The RSGB proposals will see clubs start to vanish as no longer required, a social structure will also vanish.including all the field days and off site visits to support so many causes.
the system is not broke so , do not mend it.
