Since April 15, 2000, FCC has renewed all existing
Technician Plus licenses as Technician. It is therefore
informative to consider the totals of the two classes,
since the Technician class includes a significant
number of Technician Plus licenses renewed as
Technician.

The interesting aspect of the renewed Tech+ as
simply Techs is that from that 4/15/00 date onward there
really is no way for anyone to know if a particular tech
operating in the Novice segments of HF is actually
authorised to do so since the FCC database doesn't
record the prior tech+ status, nor does it reflect
if/when a tech may have obtained a 5wpm CSCE
certificate after 4/15/00.

It's going to make keeping track of Val Germann/KC0MUB's Morse Code
progress a problem, unless Val returns to RRAP to set the record
straight.

He was the Darling of the eyes rolled back, CW Forever crowd who came
on here bashing NCI. Didn't know The Code himself, but he sure was
going to learn it. And he was loved for saying so.

To date, Val is not coded.
