That and your provocative email address, should be enough to convince most you message is nothing more than a message trolling for suckers foolish enough to take it seriously. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ Dwight, There is no way for anyone to know if a tech license has passed a morse code test and all techs have voice privileges for 28.3-28.5 MHz. What is the FCC going to do run around and check every tech license holder? Besides would you rather give up ten meters to truckers and CBers? -- The Radio Page Ham, Police Scanner, Shortwave and more. http://www.kilowatt-radio.org/ Whoa!!! Per the FCC website: "Technician 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 of power. To pass the Technician Class examination, at least 26 questions from a 35 question written examination must be answered correctly. A Technician Class licensee who also has passed a 5 words-per-minute (wpm) telegraphy examination receives privileges in four long distance shortwave bands in the HF range (3-30 MHz) (Refer to Section 97.301)." So, Techs don't have phone privileges from 28.3-28.5. Not only that, they don't have voice priveleges *anywhere* below 50 MHz. Kim W5TIT --- Posted via news://freenews.netfront.net Complaints to |
