When the rules changed this year to eliminate the code requirements there is no need to have a + . He can operate on all the frequencies listed for a tech license. That is some CW only low bands, data and voice in some portions of 10 meters, and all above 50 mhz. Go to www.arrl.org and download the chart for the frequencies. All techs and older tech + now have the same priviliges. That means the techs can operate CW in som elow bands even if they never took a cw test. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
