But has the ITU changed the treaty? Nothing can happen until then.

Doug, k3qt



Long time ago. ARRL did what it could to prevent ITU from changing its
mind, but common sense prevailed. Code hasn't been an ITU requirement in
years. ARRL pulled out all the stops to prevent ham radio from having a
new flood of new hams without code on the old codgers' HF bands.

Now, we need to get rid of this stupid caste system and get down to ONE
license with all frequencies available to ALL, without CODE SUBBANDS,
which
I predict are the next on the chopping block! USA hams may be heard from
14.100-14.150 on SSB before I die! What a concept....joining the rest of
the world on this precious slice of frequencies....all on PHONE.

Nonsense. Marine VHF has no license at all and it's not like CB....well,
often....until their drunk. Ham radio is worse than CB when THEY're drunk.

It's also very interesting that a MAJORITY of the FCC offenders written up
on HF are not unlicensed stations....they're not General Class operators or
Novices....No, the MAJORITY of the FCC offenders are EXTRA Class Operators,
their heads swelled with ego puffing out their chests....

The truth about ham radio can be seen in rec.radio.amateur.policy any day.
6-year-olds fighting over the Tonka Truck in a sandbox are more civil.

The CG does a fairly good job of policing Marine VHF. No such thing in CB
or Ham, at least not like it used to be.

The CG does a fairly good job policing Channel 16 and 22A. I've never
heard them say anything to the cursing shrimpers on the other channels like
10 or the pleasure boat channels. They don't listen to them.

Actually, the above is only true for Non-commercial Marine VHF Radios.
All Commercial Marine Radios REQUIRE a Radio Station License.

Even recreational boats with VHFs require a license if operating outside
US waters.

....and of course Canadians require an operators license, although the

U.S. requires an operator license as well.
