Off subject a bit but IMO regarding amateur radio, one license/test should be required for all amateur bands. The tiered system is just outdated and not needed. Restricted frequencies for CW should remain and all bands should be similar to 10 meters with an area only restricted to CW, data etc.

Instead of all the electronic theory subjects and obscure questions in tests many never deal with in amateur radio, they should be replaced by questions on how operators are expected to operate, courtesy on the bands, and how to efficiently use their equipment.

They already have that it’s called CB. No thank you keep the electronic theory questions, bring back CW for General and extra tests we don’t need appliance operators. Leave that for the CBers. The ones complaining about the test’s just need to study all good things come with WORK. To lazy stay with your cell phones and CB radios
