Ya gotta love seeing Markie responding to Burke's posts calling

Only Robber's Son would enjoy making fun of a disabled person's
disability.

Actually, you are. He is the one who stated, "interesting that a band
rquiring code testing forbids code use." Morse Code testing is for
"below 30MHz."

well said

The FCC could of course have allowed it to techs and frankly they
should have

Why?

The 5Mhz channels still fall below 30Mhz.

No treaty issues anymore. So why not?

There's a frequency, I think 5.170 off the top of my head, that all
amateurs in Alaska are allowed to use for emergencies. Includes
Technicians. Oooops. Violates the defunct treaty.

Several points:

(1) The exact frequency is 5167.5KHz...or 5.1675MHz if you
prefer) ...

I can handle either. Would you like to attempt a hertz conversion?

I've got a pretty good memory (and can remember most of your lies), and
it was previously posted in Part 97 as 5.170 MHz.

The regs have been rewritten to allow for people who don't understand
the bandwidth of an J3E or R3E emission. Congratulations. You
qualify.

Don't believe me? Ask amateur historian Jim.

However it's restricted to stations (ALL FCC licensed
stations...) in or within 50 miles of the State of Alaska, and is
strictly for Emergency use only. One discreet channel. And it's not
an "Amateur" channel. Amateurs are allowed on this frequency as an
accomodation to safety.

Yes, that's what I said, "There's a frequency, I think 5.170 off the
top of my head, that all amateurs in Alaska are allowed to use for
emergencies."

Thanks for your unnecessary confirmation. You're Extra special.

A real stretch to cite it as a "violation" of any treaty.

No stretch. It was the law. This provision has been in place since
I've been an amateur (Jan 87), and don't know how far back it goes.
Clearly a violation of S25 as No Code Techs were authorized to use it.
The frequency was below 30MHz. No Code Techs (obviously) didn't have
to show any proficiency in Morse Code. I think that pretty much
unravels up your claim of stretch. It was a clear violation. Robber's
Son desperate attempts fail to make an issue. bb prevails.

And it could easily be rewritten to read all licensed stations on U.S.
soil, and within 200nm offshore. No?
