By the way, your statement that "all techs have voice privileges for
28.3-28.5 MHz" is simply not true - only a Technician Plus license holder (a
Tech who has also passed the 5wpm code test) is allowed to operate on those
frequencies.

That's right! You need to know code so you can talk.
Rather silly, but true!

You need to know how to build a radio to be able to use a manufactured one,
too.
