If you can't do code, you cannot communicate +++with a ++++++ huge subset of the amateur population. That is a fact. You never will +++be ++++++ able to so until your learn code, FCC requirement or no FCC +++requirement. ++++++ There is some DX you will never get, some countries you may never +++contact, ++++++ many people you will never meet. ++++++ ++++++ Some no-coders sound like the gay rights lobby: They seem to be +++trying to ++++++ make no-code the "norm".

Don't shoot the messanger. Don't bother disagreeing with me; it +++is the ++++++ large subset of the amateur base that you have to convince and, ++++++ unfortunately, that will take a while to change IF it ever does +++change.

In a land far far away and +++ along time ago Techs had some CW priviledge on 2 and 6 meter CW if my +++ senile memory has not forgotten me. +++ +++ james +++ +++Technicians had and have CW privileges on VHF and UHF whether or not they +++passed the code. While there are small slivers of 2m and 6m that are +++exclusively CW, it can be used anywhere above 30mHz by all licensees of +++Technician or higher. Technicians have ALL privileges above 30mHz. +++ +++Dee, N8UZE +++ Back in the 60s Novices had a small part of the 2 M band also. james Novices were permitted 145-147 MHz Phone and CW until November, 1968. I believe the 2m privileges came into existence in 1951 when the Novice license was created. Dave K8MN |
