In reading the newsgroup lately I get the impression that the the
relitvely new 60 band does NOT premit Morse Encoded CW in at least
some region of the band.

Is my impression corect.

The 60 meter band is USB voice only. NO form of digital or other non-voice
is allowed.

Thanks for the info

interesting that a band rquiring code testing forbids code use

That "band" is shared with non-Amateur users both federal and
civil.

Yes I realize that so?


Don't they know the code? I thought the original reason to learn Morse
Code was because other users could understand and communicate i.e., get
off my frequency, with amateurs.

Also, (is this guy REALLY this stupid...?!?!) the "60 meter band"
DOES fall below 30Mhz, Markie.

Actually, you are. He is the one who stated, "interesting that a band
rquiring code testing forbids code use." Morse Code testing is for
"below 30MHz."

well said

The FCC could of course have allowed it to techs and frankly they
should have

FYI...Since you've been in a time warp (and obviously enjoy making
a fool out of yourself rather than use a search engine to do some
research),

You're the one who made the mistake then attacked Mark over it. Makes
you the idiot.

the United States STILL requires that an Amateur licensee to
have passed Element 1 to operate below 30Mhz.

No it does not it requires them to be tested on bands assigned to the
general and extra bands


Must be why he said, "interesting that a band rquiring code testing
forbids code use." Too bad you missed it.

Read the regs and be enlightened...Or is reading "not in
vogue"...?!?!

Steve, K4YZ

Read the post and be enlightened, instead of going off on yet another
Robeson rant.

There's a frequency, I think 5.170 off the top of my head, that all
amateurs in Alaska are allowed to use for emergencies. Includes
Technicians. Oooops. Violates the defunct treaty.

Several points:

prefer) ...However it's restricted to stations (ALL FCC licensed
stations...) in or within 50 miles of the State of Alaska, and is
strictly for Emergency use only. One discreet channel. And it's not
an "Amateur" channel. Amateurs are allowed on this frequency as an
accomodation to safety. A real stretch to cite it as a "violation" of

(2) The treaty you refer to is NOT "defunct". It is still very
much in force. It HAS been ammended, however present United States

Gotta love those International "Treats." Better than smores.

The FCC's reply to the question was that S25.2 required it.
The PCTA's answer to the question was that S25.2 required it.

The United States is in compliance with the treaty.

Arbitrary licensing requirements are still a problem.

The treaty no longer requires such arbitrary licensing requirements.

Morse Code use or testing.

and I am as cappable as they are or you are of using USB on the bands
or channels or whatever you care to call em

since Morse Code is forbidden there there is NO logical reason that
Morse Code test should be required in order to operate there, or at
worst a tech liecnsee with CSSE for the general writen test, should be
able to operate there

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!!!

The 5Mhz channels still fall below 30Mhz.

So what?

Is it a newsflash to you that S25.2 has changed?

There is NO LEGAL magic at 30Mhz there was but no more

Sure there is.

Nope

It's all PFM for the followers of St. Hiram.

YOU need to read how it's worded.

The international treat gives individual administrations the
OPTION of requiring code testing.


yes I know that

but given the only legal barriar to assgining freqs was the treaty the
FCC was free to assign them to tech's

If they can do that then there is NO legal magic

Indeed as BB has pointed out Techs are allowed to operate below 30mhz
NOW which you claim is illegal

You go read the rules before you lecture others

Hmmm? I don't think so. Tech's with a 5WPM Farnsworth CSCE can.


Guess what...?!?!

The United States is in compliance with the treaty.

Never said otherwise

I didn't see you say otherwise either.

There's a frequency, I think 5.170 off the top of my head, that all
amateurs in Alaska are allowed to use for emergencies. Includes
Technicians. Oooops. Violates the defunct treaty.

Several points:

(1) The exact frequency is 5167.5KHz...or 5.1675MHz if you
prefer) ...However it's restricted to stations (ALL FCC licensed
stations...) in or within 50 miles of the State of Alaska, and is
strictly for Emergency use only. One discreet channel. And it's not
an "Amateur" channel. Amateurs are allowed on this frequency as an
accomodation to safety. A real stretch to cite it as a "violation" of
any treaty.

(2) The treaty you refer to is NOT "defunct". It is still very
much in force. It HAS been ammended, however present United States
rules and regulations as they pertain to the treaty are in compliance
with said treaty.

so he should have defunct provision

What? Huh?

defunct provision


grow up

I have. And someday you will too. But not today, apparently.

nope you haven't
