How about 40wpm and an MSEE for a 30 day non-renewable novice ticket?
Stations must be able to distinguish b's from 6's and v's from 4's.

Who looks like he's over the hill but feels 19 (about radio anyway)

Digital Equipment maintains a World Wide Web search engine called Alta 
Vista. According to PC Magazine, Alta Vista's "Web crawler" looks at 
2-1/2 MILLION PAGES A DAY -- Usenet news groups also -- and indexes 
*every single word* it finds.

Perhaps before you query 1000 Points of Light on a reflector you could 
point your browser to

     http://www.altavista.digital.com/

and have it look for the person's callsign. You'll see a link to a page 
or newsgroup message, and can most likely find his/her address from 
there. Try your own call first  . . . you might be very surprised at what 
you find.

Food for thought: There's no band plan on 160--yet we seem to manage
not to run amuck there...CW , phone and AM (etc.), get along pretty well.

Not sure about the no-coder driving this IARU matter either--thought it was 
a
ZL proposal.
