They have one.. It's called being a General, Advanced, or Extra class

But -all- are required to learn a mode of communication that many
have no interest in, to date. That may be changing. Do all General,
Advanced, or Extra class operators use CW?

I do, but rarely. I know others that haven't since they tested, and I
know yet others who recently got their tickets who only work CW and
digital modes.

The point is this: Why bitch, moan, and complain about it, especially
in a CB newsgroup, where CW has no real bearing? Whatever the
requirements to get a license become, there will still be CW ops out
there.

No bitching or moaning, just chatter.

Agreed, more power to them.

I sure hope so.

Not Likely this time pal..

The ARRL said the same thing, just in a more hidden and polite way.

And the "CBRRL" will suffer for it.

Uh, Huh!!!!

Dee you are correct. One thing that will probably not make it is FREE
Handouts
for Techs to General

How is it FREE if everyone still has to study and pay for it? Are you
this dumb?

The ARRL has proposed an automatic upgrade from Tech to General with no
additional testing and no submission of forms. i.e. The FCC would simply
make a few keystrokes in the database to accomplish this. Since it requires
no effort, no test, no submittal of forms and no fee on the part of the
Technician, I'd say that qualifies as a free handout for the Technicians.
However, the FCC's history so far demonstrates that they will not go for
automatic upgrades so that part of the proposal has a high probability of
getting dumped.

Dee D. Flint, N8UZE

If that is so, then how would the FCC handle streamlining the
licensing. It is the FCC that wants this. The ARRL is the body that
has thrown in the NO-CODE. Everyone is putting this onto the techs,
what about the Advanced Licensees that will have a free hand out (in
your words) to extra? No one is bitching at them!!! Its all comes down
to the CODE either way you look at it.
