What really pisses me off is the snorting derision from the old timers

General, they were still considering dropping the code requirement so I
had to take the code portion of the test. That doesn't mean that people
getting tickets post no-code worked any less to get their license, but to
hear these guys talk you'd think if it wasn't done THEIR way, it shouldn't
be done at all.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd

Sheesh. When I was last a ham, there were five classes of license, and the
odd-numbered ones had morse requirements. Things sure have changed. I like
these new digital modes, though. I'm looking forward to trying them out.
A huge amount of the Novice exam is what I would
consider "common
sense". There are only a few questions about theory (like Ohm's Law),
RF safety, and operating privileges.
