Why should the FCC simply grandfather the Tech (no code) to Tech plus

and Novice test) ??

Because the only test difference between a Tech and a post-March-21-1987
Tech
Plus is Element 1

The Tech (no code) has no HF test questions. (as I understand it).

Actually that's not true, The old Novice Q&A was incorporated into the
Tech
pool.

Thus
there is no reason a Tech (no code) would, or should be qualified to
operate
HF.

Tell it to the FCC. A Tech who passes Element 1 gets the same HF privs as
a
Novice or Tech Plus.

Thanks for the update Jim. I haven't bothered with clubs or being a VE for
a while now.

Sounds like the question pool folks are, so to speak, planning ahead.. hi.
