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

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.

So what HF privs are they thinking of giving to techs?

The only voice would be 10m? Humm. Isnt 10m usually dead except for
truckers.

Oh well, they'll all have their HF privileges then.
