Tzale, good for you! That is quite an accomplishment.

It takes all of 15 minutes and a rudimentary understanding of electronics and radio propagation to take the test to become a HAM. You deserve your spectrum.

Progress is progress.

Please step aside and let progress take its course.
You are better than 99.999% of Americans then. It took my 13 year old daughter about 20 hours of class and about the same amount of home work and two tries to get a license, and she is an 'A' student in school. Most exams have about an 80% pass rate, and I know that some of those people do put forth the effort to ask for help.

Step aside? Sure, I wonder if the family of the lady that one of my group called in life flight a few months ago for thinks like you do? Cell phones did not work, but ham radio still did. As I heard, weakly, and possibly not at all if BPL was heavily used in the area that took the call and routed it to the police.
Nevermind, pointless.

Pointless that you are too intelligent, or that I had a valid reason for Ham radio?

To add to a reason for Ham radio, I talked to a doctor today who was in Florida when the tornadoes went through. Yes, the cell phones worked and the power was still on. But you could not use the cell phones (and she had two, Verizon and another) or the land lines because they were overloaded. The outdated and worthless radio was the communications to the hospital from her operations site. Granted it was only about four hours, but to some people that is the difference between being helped and not being helped.
