Smith Trucking Company Told to stay OFF the 10 Meter band

yeah ive looked into that id like to get the whole deal if i could how hard is the morse code

 

Morse code is no longer required to get your ticket.

 

i thought you had to use morse to get general class

 

Not anymore. FCC got rid of it beginning of last year, or possibly the end of 07, can't remember exactly which.

 

sounds good im pretty good with electronics so ill probably study up on the regs and try to take at least tech and general to save go juice

 

The excuse of code is gone no and the theory is a bit tougher on the general exam but not to bad its the extra that keeps whipping my tail. One of these days i will study hard enough to get that extra 50 mhz.

 

Finally. Things begin to make sense. I always thought that the morse was like having to study physics to pass an english exam. I do understand it's latent purpose, however, that's no longer viable.

 

Im about to put an export radio in my dodge truck. Are the hams up in the northeast that bad? Because i do alot of work up there and i really dont wanna make anyone mad i just want the watts because you cant get a word in on edgewise on 81 but i really am wanting to get my ham ticket.

 

If you are only planning on using the Export on the CB bands then you may as well forget getting the ticket because having a ticket does not make it legal to use an export on the cb bands.

 

get real! like anyone would ever know! has nothing to do with getting a ham license! just stay on the cb channels.
