Under the ARRL's proposal, current Novices will have certain
privileges REDUCED.
That's not in the RM-10867 Petition for Rule Making I downloaded.
Novices are currently allowed to transmit up to 200W on 80m, 40m, 15m,
and 10m. Under the proposal, Novices would be restricted to 100W on
80m, 40m, and 15m and 50W on 10m. Also, Novices are currently allowed
to transmit on 1270-1295 MHz but would be banned from that band in the
proposal.
Don't you think it's unfair to current Novices to cut their privileges
just so that the new Novices won't have to be tested on RF safety?
