The FCC rules are based on that international requirement. Now the FCC could have said you must pass the 5 wpm test to operate on HF frequencies. But they said based on the international proficiency requirements a tech can operate on HF. Today there are no international proficiency requirements for morse code. And before July, there was no specific "code speed" international requirement...yet that didn't allow techs who could do 2 wpm morse on HF...the FCC mandated 5 wpm even though the ITU had no speed minimum. Cheers, Bill K2UNK The rule includes the words "has received credit", which gives the FCC control over what speed they will give credit for. Receive credit for what? A requirement that no longer exists? How does one demonstrate compliance with a non-existent requirement? |
