Ed,

EV>I'm thinking the proposal was to help Amateur Radio Manufacturers.
EV>But I may be wrong.

  Speculation was that may be part of it...or to try to get ARRL new
members.

EV>I was a A.R.R.L. Member for about 10 Years.

  I'm an ARRL Life Member...but except for being one of the VE's with
their VEC, I do very little with them.

EV>I am going to go back to the other Echo and read all of what that ARLB007
EV>says.

  The FCC hasn't issued a call for comments, and I'd be very surprised
if this got anywhere. To me, let them upgrade to General Class
license...they'd get far more privileges, and when I took the exam back
in 2007 (just after the pool had changed), I thought it was "a piece of
cake".
