Since I am teaching a class, I have read the current FCC rules and the current ARRL "Now You're Talking." Technicians who pass a 5wpm code test get the old Tech+/Novice HF privileges. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE VE for ARRL and W5YI This arguement is pointless. You can't talk to a brick wall. I'm done here. 73 Frank K3EKO Paragraph 97.301(e) clearly lists the HF privileges for any Technician who has passed the 5wpm code test. So the brick wall is you and you have yet to state where you get your source of information. It certainly is not the FCC rules. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE VE for ARRL and W5YI This is from the W5YI website. http://www.w5yi.org/AmRadio.htm#TECHNICIAN TECHNICIAN Almost all radioamateurs begin their ham career as a "Tech." The privileges of a Technician Class operator license include operating stations while transmitting on channels in any of 17 frequency bands above 50 MHz with up to 1,500 watts power. It also allows access to the two most popular ham bands, 2 meters and 70 cm ...otherwise known as "450" (MHz.). To pass the Technician Class examination, at least 26 multiple choice questions from a 35 question written examination must be answered correctly. There are a total of 384 possible questions in the pool from which these 35 questions are drawn. All questions in the various question banks are known and widely published. There are no secret questions. The Technician Class is the most popular license with about one-third of all radioamateurs holding this license class. You will find Technician study materials here and here. TECH PLUS The next step used to be called the "Technician Plus" class. This level was eliminated as a separate operator class on April 15, 2000 -- but not the privileges. A Technician Class operator who passes the 5 words-per-minute Morse code (Element 1) exam still gets CW (telegraphy) and 10-meter voice privileges in four long distance short-wave bands in the HF range (3-30 MHz), the same as the Tech Plus operator did previously but they do not get issued another license. Their authorization to operate on four CW bands below 30 MHz is conferred by the Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) issued by the VE (examining) team. And like the Novice and Advanced Class, operators who held a Tech Plus license on April 15, 2000 may modify their license (change their address, call sign or name) indefinitely. Their new modified Tech Plus license will still show the Tech Plus Class when it arrives. But (unlike Novice and Advanced Class operators) Tech Plus licensees who renew their licenses will be issued a Technician Class license. Again, it still authorizes HF privileges just as the Tech Plus license did previously. Their authorization to operate on four CW bands below 30 MHz and 10-meter voice segment is conferred by the (1.) Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) previously issued by the VE (examining) team or (2.) a previous copy of your Tech Plus license. Ok! now how about the radio part of my original question?????? |
