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. Not required here for some years now, at least for what you are calling a "Technician license" which covers 2 metres and is useful for communication in that band. Are you going to call me wrong on this issue??? Please advise. Which issue do you want me to call you wrong on ernie? The first piece of inaccurate information that you posted of this metamorphisis of it? On your initial statement, yes you were wrong. In case you forgot this was your initial statement... "Not difficult to get an amateur license these days now that the code requirement has been wiped. Anyone who knows a bit about radio should be able to study the regs and pass an exam allowing VHF operation on 2 metres, and the "general class" [ or "full call" ] exam is not that much harder." WRC 03 removed the international Morse requirement, If you need to do morse in the US that's the FCC's fault. In the UK there's no Morse. |
