That reminds me of something I read a while back that I thought was
interesting. It explained how the Technician class license was originally
intended for radio and electronic experimenters. A "problem" arose in that
some Techs were communicating with each other on the air for conversations
You are right Brett. It seems as if the test is now geared
to operating rather than understanding the basics of
electronics. Not much more than recognizing a symbol on a
diagram.

I'm *LESS* concerned about the calculations, *OR* building the shunt.
I have *MUCH* more concern for the youngster when it comes to *making*
the High Voltage Probe!
What clue does he have about insulation thickness?
What about creapage distance?

From some of the questions I see posted by newbys on several Ham forums I
have to wonder how they ever passed the test.

Brett,
I'm 56, have enough parts to build the fine AM rig that was my dream as a kid
but now am rapidly loosing the physical ability to handle the heavy stuff.
May actually have to give up on boat anchors and build a Class E rig simply
because of the weight and efficiency.
