@invalidusernamelol @K0STK@lemmy.radio You're making the typical hammy claim of technical superiority which completely ignores reality.
@vk6flab @propterhog We're a hotbed of intransigence, so I'm not holding my breath.
@667 I'm already licensed ... went "from zero to hero" on my own over a span of about 4 months back in 2011.
It's just so frustrating seeing the obstacles which are constantly thrown in the way of people who want to become licensed (or upgraded).
Edit: licensing year
@667 In the US licensure is independent of clubs.
There is gatekeeping going on. It seems to stem from OMs who want to control how folks get into hobby.
Although they won't turn away a warm body toting a license...
Edit: added tag line
@667 @HakFoo Unfortunately our club is fixated on scheduled instructor led classes (death by powerpoint for the most part) and in-person administration of electronic tests.
They deliberately conceal the fact that self-study and on-demand remote testing are options when people inquire about getting licensed.
edit: fixed wordwrap
@AbidingOhmsLaw @OneCardboardBox Where can I find info about the 100W board ?
