True, the FCC no longer issues that license. However, those with an
existing Tech Plus license before the change still retain that license and
operating privileges. Today, Technician license holders who have also passed
the code test get the same HF operating privileges as those earlier Tech
Plus license holders.


Hey Dwight have you ever driven 56 in 55 mph zone?



Yes, I have driven faster than the speed limit when I felt, rightly or
wrongly, I could do so safely. The decision to do so was based on my
personal assessment the possible impact of my actions. But this goes back to
what I said earlier. Again, I do not just base my decision to abide by the
rules and regulations governing Amateur Radio solely on FCC enforcement
abilities. Instead, I base that decision on my own sense of what is good for
the Amateur Radio community - the impact of my actions. I personally benefit
from a community with a commitment to abide by the rules and regulations.
Therefore, it is in my own best interests not to do anything to upset that
situation. As a result, I also abide by the the rules and regulations.
