Has to be posted first in the Federal Register; that can take a day to
many days. Then 30 days from the date of posting in the Federal Register,
the new rules become effective. Given where we are in December, most
likely it will become effective sometime around the end of January.

I just wish that the comments could be more positive! When I witness the
resurgence of AM, surely, there must be a Santa Claus.
After 50 years on the air, I love this hobby and particularly, the fun that
I get from AM operation and this mail list.
I have moved the Collins 30K-1 to 3685 + or
They should have retained the 5wpm code requirement for Extras only.
A bridge too far. Most regrettable.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, how long before they drop to only
two license classes?

Unfortunately, in this Give me everything I want without having to work
for it world... this is but another step down the path of total
irresponsibility and unaccountability. I agree with those who promote
the Elmer program and I think it is a sure way to help our hobby.

Can we not file a petition for reconsideration much like the ARRL did

come to the conclusion this could be a monumental petition in regard

It probably would be a good idea to review some of the 3888 comments on
WT 05-235 that address the code issue, among other issues that were on
the table, when it was introduced. Personally, I believe you're beating a
dead horse. It's been in the wind since the last WARC world-wide

Yep, I can sympathize with you. My son gained privileges and he's only
been a ham for 3 years. Stepping back, Extras and Techs gained over the
recent FCC changes, but in gains and losses in a fixed environment, if
somebody gets gain, somebody has to take the loss,

I wish to thank all those AM operators who went out of their way to get on
the air, many with special calls, in order to ensure a strong AM presence in
the new voice bands.
While I was unable to contact anyone during the first hour due to band
conditions, I had 3 very nice contacts just after

My biggest concern is that if there is a big influx of upgrades and
newcomers to the no-code amateur world, how long before the phone bands once
again become congested to the point that, even with all the expanded phone
bands, there will be renewed calls to eliminate AM to make room for more
I agree with John Lawson, that learning code has nothing to do with
intelligence any more than learning Spanish or playing the guitar which I
can do neither. Yes I did pass my 20WPM but I am thankful I don't have it
to do again. So let us all hope that the loss of the testing for CW will

What about the rest of the planet?
Do they require code?
I sure wish everyone could agree on 40 meters
at night, is it ham or broadcast?
Can someone tell me what class licenses there are now,
and what is needed to get what class?
No code I guess, so its just a test?
Where do you get the test, at
