Ham Radio Licenses
Huh?
"SB" wrote in message e.rogers.com... it IS a small portion....but it's the fun portion isn't it?! LF for those long tx's? "Doug Dotson" wrote in message ... The CW portions of the bands is a fairly small sliver. I'm sure they will be released to general use when the code requirement goes away though. Doug, k3qt s/v Callista "SB" wrote in message . cable.rogers.com... well, I wouldn't say we're in the dark ages....we did drop the 12wpm requirement (except for testers). I think there should be a qualification for using code....sure, call it a boy scout badge type thing....but I also think there should be something for digital tx and whatever else... I just wish they didn't withhold so much of the band JUST because of morse.... I've seen independence day....and how morse saved the day!! I think it should stay to SOME degree!! "Gordon Wedman" wrote in message news:s9rqc.8762$9P6.6527@clgrps12... Unfortunately Canada is still in the dark ages. According to the Industry Canada web site we currently have 3 classes: Basic, which has no code requirement but only allows use of frequencies above 30 MHz, Morse Code, which allows use of all ham frequencies, and Advanced, which allows use of more power and home built transmitters There is a PDF document for download at http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/inter.../sf01008e.html I'm sure we will not drop the code requirement until the US does. "Stan Winikoff" wrote in message om... I have been told that the Morse Code requirement for a Ham license is required by international treaty. Others have said the requirement will soon go by the wayside. I find the written and theory parts of the Ham exam easy but code is an insurmountable obsticle for me. Any chance that code will be dropped soon as a requirement for anything more than a Novice license. |
