We used to have "A" and "B" licences - the "A" was all bands, all modes, and
the "B" was limited to above 50 MHz and didn't require the Morse Test. The
requirement for the Morse was removed, so now it's all amalgamated into one
licence.


Was there much moaning over there over the loss of the code test?

In any of your license changes have practicing hams ever lost frequency
privileges they had previously earned?

Some of the "old timers" complained, but most accepted it.

There are occasional changes, but they are mostly in our favour (like when
we got 50 and 70 MHz bands, previously used for VHF TV).
