Subject: Amateur Radio Talk The FCC is proposing to eliminate Morse code testing
Reply-To: [log in to unmask]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


The FCC is proposing to eliminate Morse code testing as a requirement for
any class of US amateur license.

In a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) adopted July 15 and issued
today, the FCC said that comments already received indicated that the
majority of amateurs support eliminating the code test for the General
Class license and says that maintaining code exams for Extra Class "would
not be in the public interest." The Commission declined to propose any
additional changes suggested in any of the 18 petitions received after the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) dropped the international
requirement for Morse code proficiency as a condition of issuing ham
licenses with privileges below 30 MHz.

The NPRM is WT Docket 05-235. Comments may be filed for 60 days after
publication in the Federal Register (which hasn't happened yet), with an
additional 15 days for reply comments. We urge anyone planning to comment
to read the entire Notice before commenting.

The complete 30-page document is available in Adobe Acrobat format at
<http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-05-143A1.pdf>. The
NPRM may also be downloaded in Word and text formats by substituting .doc
or .txt for .pdf in the above address.
