Because it is a NoCode band and logicaly should not require a code test

(A) It's not a "band". It's five discreet channels.

The 5Mhz channels still fall below 30Mhz.

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

Sure there is.

YOU need to read how it's worded.

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

Guess what...?!?!

The United States is in compliance with the treaty.

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?

grow up

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

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

No it does not

Yes, it does.

nope

Oh?

Markie...You're either disagreeing for arguments sake, or you are
again demonstrating your absolute ignorance of United States policy as
it pertains to the Amateur Radio service.

Or just lying again.

it requires them to be tested on bands assigned to the
general and extra bands

Uh huh....Which are...?!?!

well known to you. till they are avalable to me I'll not bother to
learn

So...Got slapped around and now you gonna schlep away with your
tail between your legs!

BBBWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
! ! ! ! ! !

BELOW 30MHZ ! ! ! ! !

So what

So you're patently wrong again.

QUICK, MARKIE! REVIEW TIME!

What are the four exceptions that allow a "Technician" to act as
control operator of an Amateur Radio station below 30MHz...?!?!?

none that apply to me

Absolutely correct.

and what I think you are referring isbad decision of the FCCto end
thech vs thech plus license

They only eneded their admistrative tracking of it. The license,
in practice, still exisits.

hopefully that mistake will be fixed

The FCC has clarly demonstrated that they are all about "less"
regulation and administrative burden...not more.

And WHAT common thread do each of those exceptions have in common
with the present Novice, General, Advanced and Extra class licensees?

so?

"so?" was the wrong answer. You lose.

Now on to turth

Turth? Is that near Intercourse, Pennsylvania?

Nothing prevents the FCC from allowing hambands anywhere in the
spectrum and assigning them to Tech class, and allowing techs without
code tests to use them

NOTHING but tradition perhaps

And nothing but it's current policy that takes advantage of treaty
language that gives administrations the priviledge of determining their
own course.

I DO agree that the FCC COULD have immediately enacted interim
"policy" that could have allowed licensees who pass the higher class
WRITTEN exams to exercise those privileges without the benefit of
passing Element 1 until it had been "officially" dealt with.

But they didn't, so it's still here. Oh well.

Techs can use Morse Code on VHF and above. I knew one who did
Quitefine at it.

Techs can use Morse Code on HF, too. But hey, I thought YOU
insisted that SOMEone has chased all the Techs away...?!?!

indeed he has you chase them away not all stay away

I haven't chased anyone away, Markie. My VHF log has many, many
NCT's on 6 and 2M SSB.

Wrong answer. A CW signal would dovetail nicely given the allocated

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.

Guess what...?!?!

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.

More Robeson Wrongness snipped.

Then of course FCC should (from it's own point of view) go a one
license soloutaion
which would fix what I call a mistake

as would (as I understand the ARRL's proposal) the ARRL would fix this
by making all tech inclduing myself General License holder.

Thus I have hopes that this mistake will be fixed in some fashion

Current Policy? You have reason to believe that S25.2 will be put back
into something like it older form

The treaty is LAW a part of the hisest law of the Land in the US (to
forgeiners well YMMV)


I DO agree that the FCC COULD have immediately enacted interim

which misses the point of course

60m was a new (to us band or set of reqs or whatever) in setting the
rules they could have assigned to the tech class if they choose


Techs can use Morse Code on VHF and above. I knew one who did
Quitefine at it.
