Here in EPA, after about 1980 the predominant entry license was the Tech.


This


was true even before it lost its code test. The reason was 2 meter/440 access,
which Novices didn't have. A prospective ham would see almost every ham with a
2 meter HT or mobile, ask "what license do I need to talk to you guys" and


wind


up with a Tech. Code or no code.



The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as a government entity, is
not under any regulations of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). EPA operating on amateur radio bands is a violation of the
Communications Act of 1934.



Gotcha! Here "EPA" means "Eastern Pennsylvania". I'm in "NNJ",
northern New Jersey.
The country is divided up into around a hundred zones by the ARRL. For
radio contesting
and reception reports.
