Easy there fellas...The TREATY requirement may be negated, but we
are still under FCC regulation...let's give them a day or two to see
how they are going to handle this.

I think the FCC's hands are tied until the treaty is ratified. Then all it
should take is what I remember being called an "Executive Order" dumping
Element 1.

It could be as simple as 'Effective (fill in date here), completion of
Element
1 is waived as a license requirement". One sentence.

I think the FCC will, at minimum update, Part 97 for the WRC 2003 changes.
They could do it with a "Memorandum Opinion & Order", or update Part 97
and restructure frequency allocation with a Notice of Proposed Rule Making.

This should be a hot topic at the VEC conference held at the end of July.

I would not expect much action until August. But that just a guess.

"Executive Order" is what its name implies - and order by the
President. Regulatory agencies don't work on that level. It will
be an Order - probably by the Chief of the Wireless Telecomm Bureau
or even the Division Chief under delegated authority. If we're
lucky it will be without NPRM or NOI because it removes a burden
on the licensee.

It could be as simple as 'Effective (fill in date here), completion of Element
1 is waived as a license requirement". One sentence.

One can hope.

Hi Dieter, be careful. If we're out of CW testing jobs,
Tak and I will have time to hassle you front table guys!

Join the "pool" party and add your quesstimate. There's
another thread that is carrying the quesses.

Its Fri 10pm, July 4, Independence Day- Ham. DOH!!!

HaHaHaHaHa!

Sorry, I take that back. Although there are more fitting times when you did
deserve it, on this occasion it does not necessarily deserve a HaHa.

Too bad. Now it has lost its impact. I already said that (HaHaHaHaHa!), so now
I can't say that again when it truly does apply.

I'd think that they would just edit the list of requirements for the
various ham
licenses. The code requirement would just be deleted. It would go from

Tech: element 2
General elements 1, 2 and 3
Extra elements 1, 2, 3 and 4

to

Tech element 2
General elements 2 and 3
Extra elements 2, 3 and 4

Where element 1 is the 5wpm code, 2 is tech written, 3 is general
written, and
4 is the extra written.
