Presumably because they realise that the hobby’s dying on its arse and that
a tiered licence structure may help lower the barrier of entry suitably to
keep enough newbies coming through to keep things ticking over.

Interesting to see from reading between the lines that there are multiple national French amateur radio societies, at each others' throats. Absolutely typical of French associations -- part of the reason why they don't have an equivalent of the AA. I say that from first-hand observation as I live in France.
One word came out of the Google translation rather oddly: towards the end it speaks of "shells". This is a mistranslation of the French words "coquille" which can indeed mean shell (in the sense of sea-shell) but also means "typo" or "textual error", and that is the meaning here.

Steve isn’t old enough to have done the written RAE.

[Jim GM4DHJ ...]

but not me Brian .......

[Brian Reay]

The derivation of that usage would be interesting ;-)

As for the French not having the equivalent of the AA, I am assuming you
mean the Automobile Association.

We’ve used L’Assistance in France - true it works differently- but it seems
pretty effective. In fact, it works much like the AA/RAC does in remoter
areas here- a local garage will be deputed to dispatch someone to assist as
there may only be one AA/RAC patrol covering a huge area and they are
busy/ too far away. Either way, L’Assistance turned up very quickly.

[Brian Reay]

That doesn’t make your comment any less hypocritical Jim.

[Steve Rawcliffe]

There's a Wikipedia article on the word "coquille" in the sense of "typo", but they say that there are loads of legends regarding the etymology. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coquille_(typographie)

Yes, there is roadside assistance available (usually included in your car insurance, or a scheme like the one you used) but no national organization than lobbies for motorists' interests. I'm told there was one many years ago but it collapsed because of the kind of infighting that means there's no French equivalent of the RSGB.

There are no calls from anyone to reissue G8+3, G6+3 or G7+3 calls.
That tells you what you need to know about all calls being equal.

[Steve Rawcliffe]

This Steve certainly did do a written RAE, in Germany, in 1982. My original callsign was DJ0YP (don't go searching your logbook -- I called CQ on 2 m about twice with that c/s, and got no reply, in Germany, in about 1983!)

Has to be said it was largely a question of learning a book by heart, as they had a catalogue of questions from which they assembled each exam. However, it did take me a year of classes at the telecoms training school in my suburb of Hamburg, many hours spent taking notes from the book and some very intensive morse coaching, plus practicing on my own. Including with my dad, who had been a wireless operator in the war and could still send way faster than I could copy, despite not having touched a key for nearly 40 years!

Frankly, I was surprised I passed, and I think I only just scraped through!

The point is, almost any exam will act as something of a filter to eliminate those who are just think of getting a licence on a whim, and might be better off sticking to CB or PMR.

[Jim GM4DHJ ...]

that is true I just like to stir things up...sorry

Don't worry, it was a different Steve.

The UK RAE wasn't a written Exam in 1982. The last written exam was in
the late 70s.

Some, like Jim, get all snobby about it. Some even pretend to have done
the written exam and hide their callsigns ;-)

Pretty well how it was, and still is here, and everywhere else.

One of the things we did when we put together the 'new' three tier
scheme (I was part of the team which developed the UK scheme) was to
review the old UK question pools. The 'coverage' wasn't all it could be
by a long way. We were careful to ensure the new question pools were
more thorough.


As for studying, it was certainly possible to just study from the RAE
manual - my wife studied it on the train on her daily commute and asked
for a bit of help with a few things. She passed her RAE in 1982.

> Frankly, I was surprised I passed, and I think I only just scraped through!

You passed, that is what matters. We've got someone who posts here who
claimed he could have passed the old RAE anytime, then claimed he
'upgraded' to the current Full (ie passed the current Advanced Exam) he
claims is easier only for it to turn out he hasn't. Oddly, he claims to
have qualifications 'superior' to not just one degree but two. Oddly, he
can't remember what they are. He gets 'upset' when it is mentioned ;-)

National Licensing Administrations are required to verify amateurs have
a certain level of knowledge in key areas.

Oh dear, Spike needs to falsify things to try and score points.....

Of course, anyone with even a basic knowledge of UK licensing would know
the written RAE was scrapped several years before 1982 in the UK.

no matter at what level.......signing with an X or "my mark" and a few
silly questions was as low as they could go...ticking boxes got over the
iliteracy barrier for the first traunce of cbrs in the early 80's and
all gave the feeling of inclusivity.....

Funny how you always fail to mention the usual reject Walter Mitties who
either couldn’t pass the Advanced Exam or try to pretend they passed the

There’s no shame in these fantasies of yours, Shitty Jim. It’s perfectly
fine to be gay in this day and age. You don’t have to keep trying to
repress it any more, mate. Thanks, Shitty Jim.

Burt has changed, Jim.

Even at the height of his Bean trolling he disguised it as 'keeping the
record straight', now he just trolls. There's no more peppering for
Burt, he's slithered down the slippery slope and now he's up to his
scrotum neck in lard, Jim.

Burt’s problem is that he got too emotionally invested in his ukra persona
that he’d crafted over years. When the wheels started to fall off his wagon
when he couldn’t maintain his composure in the face of my indefatigable
posting assault on uk.* circa 2013/2014, he should have simply dumped that
posting ID and started fresh with another. I mean, surely that’s pretty
much the whole point of using anon nyms, right? Instead, Burt clung on to
it like a limpet and sullied himself more and more each day as he became
increasingly gotten to. He should have shitcanned it after the Burton
Bradstock incident, or maybe even earlier when his tear-soaked whine about
being bullied by small children began to be reposted. Poor Old Burt. It’s
probably a few years too late now for him to start again on Usenet, it’ll
be too obvious if a new Wise Old Owl character pops up while Burt “subtly”
fades away. Shame, really, as it’s obvious he was hoping to leave some kind
of respectable legacy in Usenet but he’s fucked that right up now, Burt’s
totally shat the bed.

If you are going to retaliate in kind you should make sure you have an

That was proper funny, tbh, Burt. Jim has a meltdown. Happy days.

Sadly Jim's transplanted liver will be well 'seasoned' by now from his

Some dogs like rolling in shit, though, so maybe they’d be alright with
Jim’s habits.

PS: The typo I made in my previous post is *really* bugging me. Should read
“Jim had a meltdown”... And he fucking did and all, he went absolutely
