FCC announced today that Element 1, the 5 wpm Morse Code test,
will no longer be required for
any class of US amateur license. Technicians will get Technician
Plus privileges.
See news item on
www.fcc.gov
The effective date of this change isn't clear but should be soon.

I still don't want one. Mostly assholes there.
I'm there. You can talk with me on 75 meters.

Remember that exemption thing with the hams? I have two buddies that
are extras' - local here and they'd like to hear me on 20 40 or 80
(160?) NOT TWO METERS THO!
The thing about it is they still use 11 meters as much as they use any
of those bands. You do too, right?
Contrary to what some elitist morons would have you believe, one service
does not preclude the other.
Exactly, the good ones never leave 11M ssb.
