Lennie's Scorecard Backfires

I said I am in favor of allowing some access to HF without the Morse exam. I also said I favor retaining the Morse exam for the Extra Class license and for limiting access to those frequencies where Morse is most used where the licensee has not demonstrated at least some proficiency in Morse Code. I would disagree with this approach. Here's why. Let me start by saying that I believe all amateurs should have a basic ability in Morse code as it is one of the basics of amateur radio. There are two ways to get people to learn it. One, which is what we have now, is to tie the most desired privilege (HF voice) to the subject that they least desire to study. However there is a second way. Allow the novices and techs CW privileges only on the General HF bands without any further testing. They can have HF voice, digital, etc at any time they then pass the whatever the test will be in the future for General. This gives them a taste of HF. I would happily work them as slow as they want to go in order to encourage the use of CW. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
