As an active no-code tech, the CW annoucement is of great interest.
So the FCC is all for dumping the code requirement. Its my
understanding there is a response period, etc... but past that, is there
anything stopping the FCC from implimenting the new policies, and if so,
when would this likely happen, sometime next year? What are the steps
that will bring this to be the law of the land?
I'm half and half on all this. As a no-code tech who's found it
difficult (and somewhat lazy) to learn the code I'm not against the
proposed changes (though I like to see the requirement for Extra at
least). I'm a good operator and won't poisen the HF bands - assuming
they are already not somewhat poisened.
What I find unfortunate, is not having the requirement I'm unlikely to
learn code (lets be honest), which I think would be a lot of fun to
use.... but I guess thats all up to me.
