as i recall, and my recalling aint very good (i mean i forgot a lot of stuff
being out of the ham thing for 10 years), but tech doesn't get 20meters am,
i right?
also, not sure if this has changed or not but when i firstrst got my novice
ticket, novice and tech only get from on 10:28.1 to 28.5 correct?
I admit i have forgotten all what hf techs get because like i sai8d i havent
done hf for 10 plus years
