As I said before this is all new to me! MikeB Incorrect and Outdated. Prior to the FCC restructuring of the Amateur Bands, Tech Plus's could operate on HF. However, with the new rules in place, you need to be a General class or higher in order to operate on HF. 73 Frank K3EKO |

Any Tech who passes the 5wpm gets the same HF privileges as the old Tech Plus and Novice classes. I am a VE and also teach license classes for prospective licensees.

As I said before this is all new to me! MikeB There was a change. FCC dropped Tech Plus for new licensees. You will need to take the General for HF. At present that requires 5 wpm. I would recommend the K2 by electocraft (?). Get the basic 5 watt kit. Then upgrade with additional components later. All reviews say it is a good choice. Dan/W4NTI |

A handy reference is the ARRL Publication "Now You're Talking" or the Gordon West study guide for Technician. Either one will show you exactly what privileges you will have on HF after passing the Technician and 5wpm tests. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
