It's a valid point - without a Morse-qualified licence, one may not be permitted to operate HF in a foreign country that requires Morse for access should one choose to travel there. Yet that has not become an issue for any country yet. Indeed, by the nature of agreements, it has not been an issue with CEPT reciprocation even before WRC-2003 deleted morse as a requirement for HF licensing. Reciprocity has always been an important part of the worldwide Amateur community.....therefore, we would have lost something tangible that we already had should this scenario have played out! It sure makes a non-emotional, fact-based arguement - which worked quite well up here. I wonder, if enough people presented this reasoning to the FCC in their comments, if they might be willing to buy in to it? Might be worth a try....? But as of today, and I'll defer to you to provide an example, I am unaware of the issue being raised in any request by any ham for reciprocal licensing. Cheers, Bill K2UNK |
