The code tests went away last March so it is fairly easy to get a
General now.

With all the alternatives available these days the main reasons to get
a license is the camaraderie of the several nets working on the
amateur bands and the use of Airmail.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the General class still
requires the code test and a Tech class (which does't require code) isn't
sufficient for AirMail.

It would probably be better for you to google with
ham test general
than to continue correcting people with out of date info.
