In my country the exam dates are set at extremely unsuitable dates eg. 
may 20 where most people under 25 have university entrance exams.Apart 
from that, you have to pay a large fee (20 euro---> while the average 
monthly salary is 600 euro) and the test questions are a bit hard to 
memorise (especially the technical part).Also you must get over 85% to pass
Apart from the questions being outdated and referring to older equipment.
Better off illegal and with a fake German callsign than having to deal 
with snobby fucks who think they own the airwaves.The airwaves should be 
free to use by anyone.Just sell VHF handhelds with certain settings 
blocked in order not to cause harmful interference.Or well educate 
people and enforce severe penalties in cases of non-compliance.
But licenses for something so easy?At least they could just sell the 
damn callsigns if their arses call for that.
