[Fists] Maia Wastes No Time

[Rodenbarger, John A.]

Gee....I've got the perfect answer for "No-Code Fred".
Have the prospective new "Hams" fill out an old FCC form 505, and we'll give
them a callsign from the "KBVXXXX" block where "XXXX" is a sequential
number.

Then they can have 4 Watts AM carrier power and 16 Watts PEP output on SSB
on 10 Meters.

Sheesh....We already have a "No Code" Tech class license, and everything
else is only 5 WPM. How much easier can it BECOME!?!?!?!

And correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the current "Tech PLUS" HF
allocations, with the exception of 10 Meters, CW-only in the old "Novice
Bands"?

Makes my head hurt....
