- The dealer looked at my trade-in w/all the antennas (HF, VHF) and told
- me I wan't planning to to the same on the new car. I said I sure was!
- He informed me that the warranty would be voided. He went as far as wanting

- I've still got the 30-odd-year-old lightbulb (still works) that I used for
- tuning up the old cw transmitter (Heathkit DX-40 :-) ). It's got a piece
- of wire about an inch long, folded so it fills the center hole of an SO-239
- socket, soldered to the center contact, and another piece a couple of
- inches long, soldered to the threads, that slipped under one of the
- mounting screws of the socket. That's pretty short, even for loading an
- elephant. Of course, I never worked anybody on it.

- You did, it's just vague. I meant the Extra exam had yet more theory

- Advanced exam. Sorry about that.
-
- Incidentally, the Canadian Basic has 75 theory/operating questions and
- 25 rules questions, for a total of 100. Their Advanced exam has 50
- theory questions. In contrast, our no-code tech has only 55
- questions, just over one third the number on the exam required for the
- equivalent Canadian license (Advanced qualificatio w/o code), and at a
- much lower level. By the time you take the US Advanced, you've
- answered 130 questions. Maybe the "full" no-code license should be
- no-code Advanced. (Their 12 wpm code test - 3 minutes, >5 errors
- fails - is harder than our 13 wpm, 5 minute, 1 minute perfect OR 7
- questions and you pass version, as well.)

- Basically, not be an agent of a foreign government, have a US mailling
- address, and pass the exams.
-
- In case you don't know, the current license structure in the US,
- the exams need for each, and a rough idea of priviledges is as
- follows:
-
- NOVICE Novice Theory & 5 wpm code Limited HF priviledges
- TECHNICIAN Novice and Technician Theory All VHF+ priviledges
- TECH. PLUS Novice and Technician Theory Tech and Novice priv.
- & 5 wpm code
- GENERAL Novice, Tech, and General Tech priviledges plus
- Theory & 13 wpm code most HF priviledges
- ADVANCED Even more theory & 13 wpm General plus more HF
- EXTRA More Theory (!) & 20 wpm All priviledges
-
- This should give you a rough idea.

- for the object with Cat. # 22828. Try these out in your tracking

- Correct, and the FT-530 will cover 430-450MHz. (I believe this is more than
- most other dual-bands.)

-
- Just to repeat what has been posted here before, THE FCC IS NOW ISSUING
- TECHNICIAN PLUS LICENSES. This means, if you learn the code, you will
- need to send in a form 610 and get a new license. (Maybe need isn't
- quite right, but it is SOP now, so it should be done.)
-
- Not that this should change anything. The team I've worked with before
- routinely has someone who has an application pending. They generally
- wait until the license comes and then send in the paperwork. (They,
- of course, discuss this with the applicant so they know what is
- going on.)
