General Class license still requires a Morse Code test. Morse has not been "wiped." It has however, been lowered for the two higher class licenses from 13 and 20 wpm to 5 wpm for both licenses. Morse is not required for the Technician license which give full priviliges on VHF/UHF. So, once again ernie, you are wrong. http://www.arrl.org/pio/hamlic.html He's also in Australia, which, to my knowledge, isn't governed by the US FCC. I got my Tech license recently, and plan on taking SKYWARN classes in the spring. The blackout has made me decide to accelerate my purchase plans for a mobile radio. Handhelds are more portable, but max out at 5w of transmit power, where most mobiles are 50-55w. In a life-and-death emergency, anyone is authorized to transmit on any frequency or any band to try to get help, even if they don't have a ham license at all. |
