It would help if we just had some thinkers, you included. I've dealt with these types before. Take one part of a rule, and then proceed to interpret the bejabbers out of it. There is no rule that can be written that cannot be interpreted just about any way a person wants to. In other portions of the rules, there is adequate understanding that for HF privileges, you must take a test, one of the elements consisting of a Morse Code test. In addition, we must note that the Morse code test has NOT been eliminated. It is now up to the individual country to determine if they want the test as a requirement. So, the US is still in compliance with the rule, in requiring a Morse code test. If we eliminate the MOrse code test, we will still be in compliance, having exercised that option as outlined in the rule. If you don't believe me, just give it a try, and provide documentation of your times and date. A recording would be nice too. Do you folks have the courage of your convictions? - Mike KB3EIA - |

In addition, we must note that the Morse code test has NOT been eliminated. It is now up to the individual country to determine if they want the test as a requirement. But note HOW the privilege is defined. In this case, it's NOT defined as simply holding "element 1 credit" like it's pre-2000 predecessor was. Other license classes' privileges are based on license class, which is in turn based on element credit. However, for the HF operation of Technician and Novice licenses, the current regulation doesn't refer to element credit but instead refers to the international requirement - which was just repealed (and replaced with a statement that each country may decide for itself - but that makes it a "national requirement" and choice, not an international one). If the section privileges were based on "holding element 1 credit," then I would agree that nothing has changed. However, that is clearly erroneous. So, the US is still in compliance with the rule, in requiring a Morse code test. If we eliminate the MOrse code test, we will still be in compliance, having exercised that option as outlined in the rule. I don't dispute that. However, the authority for HF operations of Technician and Novice licenseholders isn't based on simply holding element credit like it is for the other license classes. If you don't believe me, just give it a try, and provide documentation of your times and date. A recording would be nice too. Do you folks have the courage of your convictions? |

However, note that I recognize that there may be an unintended result of the recent international event - and that is certainly a "new thought" for this group. It also demonstrates that no body of law should refer to definitions made in another body of law that one has no control over and expect things to be the same if the referred-to law is changed when the referring law isn't. |
