Hello Ralph
Things have changed with ham radio and FCC. For a number of years the + on
tech+ has been eliminated from a person's license. It can get to be a problem
verifying you had passed the code and now it doesn't make any difference. For
your info, if you are not aware, on Feb 23rd this year code is no longer
required for any license. Hope this answered your question. 73 de Tom

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.
