I offer the following comments on your Amateur radio NPRM. Consolidation to the 4 classes is good, a 5 WPM telegraphy test would be best for General class. Actually one test at 5 WPM would be sufficient for classes General and above. I would like to see 5 WPM still be required for HF access, actually it scares me if 5 WPM wasn't required. I would also like to see Novices and Tech pluses be made Generals as in the ARRL plan to avoid any confusion, red tape and paper work on your part. For new entry's to General and upgrades, element 2, 3A,3B and 5 WPM would suffice. Thanks for reading. 73 Jim WX2JIM
