So if they drop the code requirement will current techs be able to get on HF
without retesting?


I'd imagine so.


rumour has it that is the reamining point of debate at the FCC
withthe point of view you express in the rest of the paragraph and the
notion that tech class will not change at all form the current VHF+
license it is now

only time will tel
They would then most likely be eligible for the Tech Plus (Tech
Plus passed the 5 WPM test) privileges which allow voice, CW and digital
operation on 10 meters, and CW on the 80, 40, and 15 meter bands.

To get more privileges they'd have to pass the General Class element(s) of the
exam.
