But at URL: http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/classes.html

It states:
Technician Class

Hams enter the hobby as Technicians by passing a 35-question

multiple-choice

examination. No Morse code test is required. The exam covers basic
regulations, operating practices, and electronics theory, with a focus

on

VHF and UHF applications.

Technician Class operators are authorized to use all amateur VHF and
UHF
frequencies (all frequencies above 50 MHz). Technicians who pass a 5
WPM
Morse code examination are entitled to limited power outputs on certain

HF

frequencies. "Technicians with HF" may operate on the 80, 40, and 15

meter

bands using CW, and on the 10 meter band using CW, voice, and digital

modes.



Also for freq and power limits -- see URL:

Believe who you want. That only applies to old tech plus licensees.
New Tech's CANNOT operate HF. How many times am I going to have to
explain this???

Just as many times as I must tell you that you are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
Techs who pass 5wpm get the old Tech Plus/Novice HF privileges. Says so
right in the FCC rules and all the up to date study guides.

What kind of dope are you smoking?



I choose to stay up to date on rules and regulations so that I can
effectively teach and administer the licensing tests in accordance with FCC
requirements. If you choose to continue to hold to a position that is
clearly incorrect as shown by the FCC rules, that is your problem.
