Sorry Rick. You'll have to do better than that.

It appears that older restricted permits are not listed. I will concede
that Larry may hold an old restricted radiotelephone ticket, one of those
licenses far easier to obtain than the "giveaway" GROL or GMDSS tickets he
was sneering at before he got caught lying about his own license level.

I'm not really sure why the Restriced Permit even exists other than for
the FCC to make money. There are no qualifications, no callsign, no
anything. They make sure the price stays indexed to inflation though.
Mine cost $10 back in 1970, my wife's cost $40 4 years ago. Most
folks I know don't even bother to get one.

"Better" than what? Larry is the one trashing a lot of good people who
actually hold the licenses he says are useless while he claims to hold
tickets he doesn't. He is a fraud, a ham who is bent and bitter that no
one will let him play radio operator outside his closet.

I seem to recall have to do a fair amount of studying to get my ham, GROL,
and GMDSS tickets. I certainly wouldn't call them giveaways.
