[SBE] Is it worth me pursuing my amateur extra license?

[Bob Reite]

Well, with an Extra class ham license, you can become an SBE Certified 
Broadcast Technologist without taking the exam, as long as you have two 
years of "continuous satisfactory service in broadcast engineering or 
related technology" prior to the date of the application.

I was among the last of the "Heavy Extras", with the 20 WPM code 
requirement. Even then the question pool seemed to be heavy on giving 
license exams, since Extra class hams give the tests now, not the FCC 
like in the old days.  It seemed to me that the old Advanced class exam 
was heavier on electronic theory.
