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.

That was only for the test, it has nothing to do with 97.301(e) -- The Radio Page Ham, Police Scanner, Shortwave and more. http://www.kilowatt-radio.org/ |

A requirement cannot be bypassed like an option can. |
