Ham Radio Licenses
I suspect that repeater IDs in morse will be dropped as
when if the code requirement completely goes away. In any case, I believe the ID is sent at 13WPM. Doug, k3qt s/v Callista "Jack Erbes" wrote in message ...

If I recall correctly, when the last rule change happened that made 5WPM the speed for General and Advanced, it was stated that the ITU requirement was the reason that it could not be dropped entirely. Once the ITU dropped the requirement, the FCC would iniate action to follow suit. Personally, I think the code should stay. Doug, k3qt s/v Callista I agree with keeping the 5 WPM requirement. Being able to read an SOS, read a repeater ID, etc., etc., is a good thing. And it does not hurt anyone at 5 WPM. At that speed you can take a cheat sheet with you and look the longer, harder to remember ones as they are sent. Of course, I suppose there is someone that will have trouble as soon as they got to those really tough ones with both dits and dahs... :) -.- .---- .--- .... . -- Jack Erbes in Ellsworth, Maine, USA - jacker at midmaine dot com |
