I'm currently studying code so I can pass my General class license
test. I am also interested in homebrewing and QRP. I am looking for
plans for building a homebrew 6 meter transmitter. I know that the
propagation is not favorable for 6M right now, but until I gain my
General class license, I think such a project will be a good place to
start. I would appreciate any help that you can offer. Thanks.
==============================
To my knowledge a 5 wpm code test is currently only required for the Amateur
Extra class of licence.

Negative.

The US FCC regs require the 5 wpm Morse for General and for Extra.

The lowest license class of the three, Technician, does not require
Morse. However, any licensed Technician who has also passed the 5 wpm
Morse can add privileges on HF in what used to be called the Novice or
Tech Plus bands.

Happy trails,
