     Speculation was that may be part of it...or to try to get ARRL new   
   members.

     I'm an ARRL Life Member...but except for being one of the VE's with   
   their VEC, I do very little with them.

     The FCC hasn't issued a call for comments, and I'd be very surprised   
   if this got anywhere. To me, let them upgrade to General Class   
   license...they'd get far more privileges, and when I took the exam back   
   in 2007 (just after the pool had changed), I thought it was "a piece of   
   cake".
