G'Day Folks,

If there is NO CW requirement for ANY ham license
in Australia, some VK hams don't yet know about it
and I'm one of them.

The ACA (Australian Communications Authority) had
many meetings all over Australia in the last few months.
Their purpose was to present their proposed rule changes
which were many. Dropping all CW requirements was
one item. Faulting the ham for EVERY problem of
interference with ANYTHING was another. The
latter caused quite a stir and threatened to incite a
rebellion! Few seemed to care about CW one way
or another.

The many issues, I've mentioned only two, are still
under advisement as best my associates in OZ know.
No action is expected for a couple years.

OK, that's what I've heard. I may be wrong, if so
please let me know and please cite a verifiable source!

Cheers,

Bill VK6KM




It's on the ACA web site. No code test effective 1st January. Take a look.
