RESTRUCTURING: MORE COUNTRIES DROP CW

snip

More restructuring has taken place in Europe. The GB2RS News Service
reports that Finland has now officially dropped the Morse code
requirement for that nations hams to have access to the High
Frequency
bands. GB2RS says that Finland actually deleted the Morse
requirement
on the 1st of November of 2003. Now, with the latest rules revisions
there are now there are only two classes of amateur license in that
European nation.


Also from GB2RS word that former French Class 2 licensees with F1 and
F4 callsign prefixes are now being heard on the High Frequency
bands.
According to the French national amateur radio society, this change
was implemented on May 16th.


But according to Heyle and apologists, we must remain ignorant of
other countries operating priveleges and licensing requirements by
class. This is so that we can continue to work out of band Frenchmen
on 6M or anywhere else we find them. QSL?
