But I doubt it will make any difference. Many of the 18 petitions included various changes to entry-level license privileges, including the very obvious one of giving Novice/Tech Plus HF privileges to all Techs. Yet FCC repeatedly denied all of them. In the NPRM, FCC makes it clear that their vision of the future looks like this: wrong again How is it wrong, Mark? All the FCC proposes to do in the NPRM is to drop Element 1 from the requirements. Nothing else - in fact, other changes have been specifically denied. If that is done, the following will be the inevitable result: Technician: Entry-level license. All VHF/UHF, no HF With no Element 1, the only way for new hams or existing noncodetested Techs to get any HF will be to go for General. General: Mid-level license. All VHF/UHF, most HF/MF As it is today, without Element 1 Extra: Top license, all privileges. As it is today, without Element 1 Novice, Tech Plus, Advanced: Old license classes that will disappear with attrition. Which has been going on for the past 5-1/2 years. No free or automatic upgrades. Specifically denied by FCC. Nobody loses privileges and nobody gains privileges. No HF for Technicians who haven't passed a code test. That's what Hans is trying to fix. Unfortunately FCC doesn't seem to see that as a problem. |
