It was only an entry barrier to those who could not fully grasp the electronics theories, the ‘science’ behind it all, which was the reason for the tests, in the beginning.
We BUILT our radios. We DESIGNED and BUILT our communications setup, and our transmission lines.
If “you” could not do that, even with the financial means to get all the parts and blueprints, and assembly equipment, you had no business even thinking about that kind of license.
Stupidity can be a good thing, sometimes.
