The FCC does not issue technician plus license any more so I guess no one can
operate on 10 meters that has passed the tech license test?

Hey Dwight have you ever driven 56 in 55 mph zone?

True, the FCC no longer issues that license. However, those with an
existing Tech Plus license before the change still retain that license and
operating privileges. Today, Technician license holders who have also passed
the code test get the same HF operating privileges as those earlier Tech
Plus license holders.

Yes, I have driven faster than the speed limit when I felt, rightly or
wrongly, I could do so safely. The decision to do so was based on my
personal assessment the possible impact of my actions. But this goes back to
what I said earlier. Again, I do not just base my decision to abide by the
rules and regulations governing Amateur Radio solely on FCC enforcement
abilities. Instead, I base that decision on my own sense of what is good for
the Amateur Radio community - the impact of my actions. I personally benefit
from a community with a commitment to abide by the rules and regulations.
Therefore, it is in my own best interests not to do anything to upset that
situation. As a result, I also abide by the the rules and regulations.

Haven't we all?

But the State does not have the authority to impose "Notice of
Apparent Liability" in the sum of $8000 per day per violation either,
now does it?

Hey Keith, do actually know the FCC rules? They did stop issuing the novice
and tech plus licenses, but the requiremenmts are still there. Now if a tech
passes element one thet are still a tech but witt the same HF priviledges as
a novice. They have to keep there CSCE as proof. The treaty stated that it
no longer requires code, but would leave it up to the individual countries
to set the rules, and UNTIL the fcc says CW is no longer needed, then the
same rules apply as before the WRC treaty change.
