Dwight, There is no way for anyone to know if a tech license has passed a
morse code test and all techs have voice privileges for 28.3-28.5 MHz.
What is the FCC going to do run around and check every tech license
holder?
Besides would you rather give up ten meters to truckers and CBers?

Whoa!!!

Per the FCC website:

"Technician
The privileges of a Technician Class operator license include operating
stations while transmitting on channels in any of 17 frequency bands above
50 MHz with up to 1,500 watts of power. To pass the Technician Class
examination, at least 26 questions from a 35 question written examination
must be answered correctly. A Technician Class licensee who also has passed
a 5 words-per-minute (wpm) telegraphy examination receives privileges in
four long distance shortwave bands in the HF range (3-30 MHz) (Refer to
Section 97.301)."

So, Techs don't have phone privileges from 28.3-28.5. Not only that, they
don't have voice priveleges *anywhere* below 50 MHz.
