TECH PLUS
The next step used to be called the "Technician Plus" class. This level
was eliminated as a separate operator class on April 15, 2000 -- but not
the privileges. A Technician Class operator who passes the 5
words-per-minute Morse code (Element 1) exam still gets CW (telegraphy)
and 10-meter voice privileges in four long distance short-wave bands in
the HF range (3-30 MHz), the same as the Tech Plus operator did
previously but they do not get issued another license. Their
authorization to operate on four CW bands below 30 MHz is conferred by
the Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) issued by
the VE (examining) team.

And like the Novice and Advanced Class, operators who held a Tech Plus
license on April 15, 2000 may modify their license (change their
address, call sign or name) indefinitely. Their new modified Tech Plus
license will still show the Tech Plus Class when it arrives.

But (unlike Novice and Advanced Class operators) Tech Plus licensees who
renew their licenses will be issued a Technician Class license. Again,
it still authorizes HF privileges just as the Tech Plus license did
previously. Their authorization to operate on four CW bands below 30
MHz and 10-meter voice segment is conferred by the (1.) Certificate of
Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) previously issued by the VE
(examining) team or (2.) a previous copy of your Tech Plus license.


Umm, excuse me, Frank, but isn't this the exact point that N8UZE was trying
to make and YOU kept saying was wrong, incorrect, mis-guided, etc, etc,
etc??????

Someone point me in the right direction here, please. because I think I'm
totally confused.................
