When you get the license for HF amateur operation, you get privileges that
include code.

No, you have the privileges to use code on VHF and UHF if you want to and don't
ever have to pass a code test. In case you are not aware, parts of those
bands are set aside for code as well.

In case you are not aware, the international treaty did not include
VHF.

Code proficiency is part of the requirement.

It was part of the requirement to get a technician's class license too, wasn't
it? But that was dropped, right?

In case you are not aware, it was only dropped because international
treaty did not include VHF.

Next...MK
