[BC] No-code Amateur license

[Rob Atkinson]

what kind of or how much credit does SBE give for extra?  what's the credit 
for?
I got mine back when i was a poor high school kid with no money for gear.  I 
figured I could at least study and pay 8 bucks to take the tests and improve 
my license if not my station.  I even got one of those 1st class phone 
look-a-like certificates that FCC used to issue for Extra.

This is why I have the Advanced Class   why Bother for the Extra.. for what 
the Bottom 25kc of each band. Big Deal
I have plenty of Freq.'s to operate CW and Voice with the Advanced..
However I feel they should not loose the CW Requirement. I heard  you only 
need 5 WPM for the extra Now?
PLEASE  that makes Me sick.  Amateur Radio will If Not already like CB..
You Do know what that means Don't You?
The SBE gives credit For Having an Amateur Extra License.
that will Be useless... soon Everyone will have an EXTRA Class   and Know  
ZILCH. Technically.
OK  so How about the SBE giving credit for holding an Advanced Class 
License..
They no longer have Advanced Class, and those like me that have it really 
Earned it   Because its Grand fathered.

so SBE  give credit where its do..  to Grand fathered Advanced Class holders 
and Not just Extras
