There is NO Tech Plus test. Only Tech, General and Extra.

Hmmmm. How about "Technicians with HF" (term is from the ARRL
website)? I was trying to say that I was also taking the code test
portion also.

There is no Tech with HF. You need a General Class.

Hmmmmm, the FCC (http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/ama...atorclass.html)says
"A Technician Class licensee who also has passed a 5 words-per-minute
(wpm) telegraphy examination receives privileges in four long distance
shortwave bands in the HF range (3-30 MHz) (Refer to Section 97.301)"
Is this incorrect or outdated? As I said before this is all new to me!

Incorrect and Outdated. Prior to the FCC restructuring of the Amateur
Bands, Tech Plus's could operate on HF. However, with the new rules in
place, you need to be a General class or higher in order to operate on HF.
