Please re-read Phil's reply again. You missed the point as to each

If any entity has a choice, then how can it be called a requirement?


The international requirement meant that all entities had to require a
code test for HF privileges. Now the international requirement has been
dropped, now each entity can decided for itself if it wants to require a
code test for HF privileges, and until the FCC changes the rules, it is
still required for U.S. hams. What is so hard to understand about that?


That means that there is no international requirement (in your words, "has been
dropped").

I agree exactly: "Until the FCC changes the rules, it is still required ...."

How do you show compliance with a non-existent requirement?
Please demonstrate your proof.

You are a troll. You post from ampr.org and easynews.com. You
aren't fooling anyone. We are taking this newsgroup back and nothing
you can do will stop that.


1) I am not a troll, nor have I ever posted from easynews.com. I don't even
have an account at easynews.com.

2) I have asked a legitimate question. 47 CFR 97.301(e) bases the HF
operating privileges for the novice and technician license classes on a
requirement that now no longer exists, but the FCC hasn't removed the
requirement for those licensees to comply with the external requirement. How
are these licensees to show compliance with a[n international] requirement that
no longer exists?

If they can't demonstrate compliance, then they don't have the privilege. Is
that beyond your comprehension?

These are the handles you have used in the past couple of months
including but not limited to--

D. Stussy


This top one is NOT a handle but my name. So what if it's an "ampr.org"
address. It's one of the few that actually WORKS because I know what I'm
doing.

None of the rest are mine nor under my control. Most I've never even seen
before.

Until the FCC changes the rules concering Element 1, the requirement
in the US remains that Element 1 must be passed.

That is NOT what 97.301(e) says. 97.301(e) does not require a tech to
possess
element 1, it requires the tech licensee to meet the international
standards set down in s25.5 to transmit on HF.


I agree with the above as to what 47 CFR 97.301(e) says.

I disagree that what is left means that any Technician or Novice has
any HF privilege at all. The FCC rule still says that these licensees
must show compliance with a non-existent regulation. Since they CANNOT
COMPLY with a non-existent [international] regulation, they LACK the
privilege.

The reason 97.301(e) was written that way is because the FCC expected
the s25.5 reference to be deleted, but it was changed. The fact that
it was changed does not mean a tech licensee is not meeting the
requirements set down in 97.301(e).


I disagree. There is a [U.S.] requirement for these licenseholders to
meet the international requirement. Show me how they can do this if
the international requirement doesn't exist.... It's impossible for
them to demonstrate compliance, and therefore, they cannot meet all of
the U.S. requirements (one of which is to meet the non-existent
international requirement), and thus have no such privilege.


You have posted this in lots of places, so I will reply only once. The
international requirement is that code testing is optional, hence it can
be met either with or without passing a code test, i.e. veryone meets it
all the time.


Please define "optional requirement."

If it's optional, it's not a requirement. If it's required, it's not an option.

47 CFR 97.301(e) is defined in terms of a requirement. That requirement,
having been turned into an option, no longer exists - but the appropriate
licenseholders, in order to execute the privilege, still must demonstrate
compliance with the non-existent requirement. How do they do this? If they
can't, then they don't have the privilege. I say that demonstrating compliance
with a non-existent requirement is an impossible act.

It doesn't mean a tech can get on 20 meters, it should mean he can
operate on
HF in the allocated tech bands according to the FCC rules.


What you think it should mean and what it does mean are as clear as
night and day.

Yeah. Monty DePont (and the rest of us who were craftsmen in rule
and affidavit and opinion writing) retired before that time and it's
so difficult to get "good help nowadays"......

I disagree. There is a [U.S.] requirement for these licenseholders
to meet the international requirement. Show me how they can do this
if the international requirement doesn't exist....


Sure it exists. It requires each Administration to determine if a
code test is necessary. It's not an "option" - each Administration
MUST determine if a code test is necessary or not. If the
Administration determines that it is, then any test that is ordered
complies with "international requirements".


If each government has a choice, then it's not an "international requirement."
A requirement means that there is no choice. The replacement S25.5 means that
each country has a choice to impose a NATIONAL REQUIREMENT on its
licenseholders (something they could have done anyway). How does that become
an international requirement when some member country to the agreement can opt
out?

S25.5 no longer REQUIRES anything. So how can one show that one has
met the requirement? That's impossible.


Having a choice (regardless of whom holds the choice) means that it
is an OPTION, and options aren't requirements. A requirement means
that there is no choice; no option. These are OPPOSITES.


The "international requirement" (inflexible rule) is that the
decision on code proficiency is now up to each Administration. This
isn't an "option" - this is a fixed rule = "requirement".


That statement focuses on "requirement," forgetting about "international."

"Meeting the international requirement" means meeting the rule set
by the FCC. The FCC cannot remove an operating privilege for an
entire class of licensee without a formal rule change unless it is a
temporary or emergency measure. There has not been any formal rule
change, so the situation remains as is.


Yes, there has. Treaties and international agreements supersede national laws.

Whether or not the IRS and the Tax Court works that way, that's how
the FCC works.

Dieter, you've been dealing with the IRS too much to think clearly
on this matter.....


Perhaps so, but you will find that interpretation of rules and regulations was
one of my strongest points when I worked for them. Thinking can be taxing! :-)

You're surely aware of the fact that an existing law/rule/regulation is
effective during any period of time required to change or othewise update it
to comply with prevailing changes which effect its meaning. Any scheme
othewise would invite the very sort of chaos these people are planning.

Does the FCC see it thusly? You can bet on it.


1) That does not give them an unlimited amount of time to act on the change.

2) That does not justify applicability of the dependent regulation beyond the
time of the change of regulation it depends on. It becomes a regulation that
cannot be relied upon as authority (after the date of the underlying change).

3) That implies that the regulation supersedes international agreements and
treaties. Actually, treaties and international agreements supersede the laws
of the countries party to the agreement or treaty.

(With thanks to the late Meredeth Willson as told in his book
"And There I Stood With My Piccolo")

There's nothing wrong with the language of the USC or CFR if (1) one
has a good command of American English and (2) one has a good
command of law and (3) one understands what the statute/regulation
was intended for in the first place.

The same thing is true of the writings of any technical profession.
I have always felt that an understanding of FCC regulations is as
important to ham radio as an understanding of the technology being
used by the ham.


Isn't it ironic that here we have a thread asking why law isn't
done in "plain English", while we also have other threads going
where several people are twisting the meaning of a regulation
into a pretzel that only a lawyer could appreciate.

With apologies to Toscanini, "there's nothing wrong with this
one except that you need to add another" comment about item 2
"and make a" further comment about item 3.

Item (2) includes finding out what the courts have said the
language means. Dictionary meanings, what the neighbor means,
or what we read on Usenet are all wonderful, but useless if a
court has already decided what it really means.

Item (3) seems to be what everyone is missing in the threads
about whether a now optional requirement exists, because the
*question* is not whether, with the mind set of a twelve year
old, one can distort the language to get what one wants, but
simply a matter of what the regulation was *intended* to do.

Case dismissed, with prejudice.

He's just another idiot, and a code test didn't keep him or you out

Ah, yes. The "Code as a Filter" myth. I think that was #19 on the
