I think techs are allowed digital only on 10 and 6 meters. I can't figure out the logic of the frequencies. While the CW requirement is eliminated, techs can do ONLY CW on most of the bands. Why not allow techs digital privileges on 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, and 12 meters, or at least some of them? Having techs focus on digital on a number of bands would have made more sense to me. Didn't work out that way. Anyway, I enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting.
@mishima666 thet probably do that so people have something to motivate them into upgradeing. maybe you can remember how it was when they had the novice license.
I have a tech license but never used it. I'm interested in digital modes, especially PSK31. But as I recall, techs are limited to 10 meters with digital modes. Not sure why they didn't open up other bands as well. I'm wondering if it's worth the money just to be able to operate in digital on one band. Any advice? My hearing isn't so good, so I'm not interested in CW or voice.
@mishima666 You can go digital between 28.0 and 28.3 MHz within 10 meters, and with it opening up again, there may be more people doing that. Some of the other bands that are set for CW also get digital modes going down there, and Techs are probably investigating those bands too, I would guess.
indeed the band is wide open every day :)
