AFAIK, no FCC license allows HF (SSB) band
transmission without an appropriate

If the pictue has changed, please let me know.


You need General or Extra to operate HF. Code at 5 wpm will soon be
HISTORY, whether the old fogies at ARRL like it or not.

Currently, that is what I thought.

FCC is debating no code. However, I wonder why? The
demise of HF hams would free up spectrum for other uses.
Nowadays, all spectrum is valuable.

SSB on boats could be useful. So far, cell phones and
VHF/UHF transceivers are quite handy.
