Here's my submission to the FCC.


[snip]


However I am in favor of allowing access to the HF allocations
without the benefit of a Morse Code examination with the restriction
that non-Morse tested Amateurs not be allowed access to those parts of
the spectrum wherein voice (wideband) modes are not permittted.
Without the basic skills of being able to recognize whether or not they
are potentially interfering with other communications, the non-Morse
tested operator should be restricted to areas wherein they will have
less likelyhood of causing such interference.


Steve, I have to disagree with you on the concept that only Morse tested
operators be allowed to operate Morse.


That's not what I said, Dee...


you don't the shoe on other feet

I said that non-Morse tested licesees shouldn't be allowed to
operate in areas where voice modes are not permitted.

There is a difference.


and in that defference, you would (if the FCC was fool enough to listen
to you) laid the groundwork for you and others to whine" why don't
these new folks do the digital modes they promised"



If the FCC is going to drop the code
requirement (which seems certain now), the operators should be allowed the
privileges of the comparable classes of today. Besides you don't have to be
familiar with a mode to hear that someone is using the frequency and thus to
know that you should go find another.


But you need to be able to be able to inquire as to the use of the
frequency, etc. Just because I tune to 14.0xxMhz and not hear anything
for a minute or so does NOT mean the frequency isn't being used.


right (where are the men in white suits?) Indeed I'd hope it is being
used somewhere (but that might to too hopeful on my part) but it enough
to make it a good bet that freq is not in use where this operator is
working from, which is all that matters

If as I am sure happens the poor fellows keys up sending RTTY or PSK31
and steps on one he could not hear then that is of course too bad, but
if he could not hear them he could not hear them, testing him for morse
code first will not improve his hearing


If they elect to go Code/Extra-NoCode/General, then we should
consider some band plan allowances to give the NCG's a place to
practice away from the skilled users. However that can be done on a
"Gentleperson's Agreement" (notice the PC there...?!?!?!) , not a new
"Novice" class license.


they will elect
