I don't think they should get rid of the requirement.
Otherwise, what's the insentive to work harder to get the general or extra
class licenses?

Well, that is really good. I still hear a lot of CW out there. I think
that there was actually a time where you had to have 20 words as a

technical questions added to the theory.
