Default New Technician License

I'd imagine so. 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.


They may just granfather everyone to General and do away with what will
become a redundant category of licence. That was done in other countries when
requirements were being reduced. Either way it will not be very long before
we hear SSB on 14.005
