Off Subject: Ham Radio

[Del K. Rykert]

please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Tech license now give you 
privileges for and access to the 6 meter segment?  Used to be when I took 
mine needed to learn code to get 6 meter privileges.  I have worked 226 
countries on 10/15/20/40 and 80m.  a little on 160m  Is allot of fun and can 
be done much cheaper than flying pattern.
