Gee, in the distant past, Novices were allowed to operate on the same
frequencies as everyone else within certain bands. They quickly lost
their poor operating practices by emulating the fine operating they heard.
Then incentive licensing went into effect....
Seems ironic that over 30 years later we want to go back to the "old"
way. While we're at it, why don't we eliminate a couple of license
classes?
