I like the simple A, B, C structure.

Advanced Class ops could be referred to as A-    Wink

Would the Novices or the Technicians be the C+? Tongue

I'd bet those guys have no concept of what "zero-beating" means.
I always thought "zero beating" was punching a NCT who just upgraded to General.  But then I am not as smart as you guys. Seriously, I like 3rd, 2nd and 1st Class.  Leave Novice and Advanced alone. Wonder if it would do any good to try to get the Questions Committee to stop posting the answers ahead of time?

Advance and Novice would be a "point" class (2.5, 1.5 etc.)

No, memorization helps to exercise many of the brain cells. Lots of “store and retrieve” action. Better then a good jolt of Starbucks.

Uh...Lee? What makes you so sure we're not? The QSO section is used for discussing things that aren't necessarily technical, for sale, an announcement, or whatever else. Even topics that seem pointless. Even topics that were hashed and rehashed 6 months ago and before. Try not to read too much more into it. Wink

I think we get along splendidly for a dysfunctional family. Especially when Vodka Herb is pouring. Cheesy
