Look back at the record about 30 years ago. ARRL was not the instigator
of incentive licensing. It was FCC; ARRL did what could be done to
make what FCC was going to do anyway as acceptable as possible to the
masses. My own opinion at the time was it was a good idea and I still
think it was good. For practical purpuses it gave Extras a few bottom
end private segments, a little bit to Advanced, leaving plenty for
Generals. What was so wrong with giving the serious hams an incentive
to go for Extra? Anyone who wanted it could put in a couple hours study
and get it. K3TX, extra certificate #192.

Guess I just get nervous with some of their plans, still remember that
they were the group that brought the great boon of incentive licenseing
to ham radio.
