Ham Radio Licenses
BTW, I went to the web site to find an examiner for my test. Sent an e-mail
but never got a reply. Anyone know where I can find an examiner for the Houston, TX area? -- Keith __ Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. "L." wrote in message rio.net...

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 A CHEAT SHEET??????????????? Buddy, if you're not ready for an exam, you're going to fail. Come to my exams and be caught and the exam is OVER and YOU FAIL. And that is the least you can expect. Being turned into the FCC for any possible action will be up to them. L. |
