As I told you last summer, whether someone has passed the code test
or not has no relevance. It's whether someone has passed the advanced test.
Since it's a mix and match system, people can pass the advanced test
without taking a code test. They can build all the transmitters all
they want at that point, but since they haven't passed the code test
they have no HF privileges.

There is no "no code license" in Canada. There are two levels of license,
and either one can be no-code.

I wasn't sure if the countries involved but my understanding was
Canadian rules are similar to US in style and form. Other countries
are beyond my knowledge. I'd expect from articles I've read
and the calibar of those authors there are many that allow home built
equipment and may even encourage it.
