The tech license *does* have HF privileges - CW on 80, 40, 15 and 10
meters and voice on 10 meters.
Not many utilize it.

Bill,
I like the idea...but... Always the but... :)
I think the best thing to do, is to really encourage technician licensees
to come out to field day and get a feel of the action. I started off as a
tech at age 13 and happily enjoyed my 50 mhz + privileges. That was until
my first field day with West Valley on Loma Prieta at Charlie's property.
The only thing I could talk about after was how I needed to learn CW to get
my General ticket to work HF. Boy that was a long time ago. When did Cw go
away again? I'm so old hihi. But my point is if we encourage the Technician
hams to come out to field day and see how fun HF can be, and then Elmer
them and help them pass their general class test, the world will be open to
them. And then we can strongly urge them to drink the Elecraft kool-aid
(Wayne can I get a referral discount off a KPA500?). I guess what I'm
saying is why have a radio that will keep them where they're at and cap
their knowledge when it would be better to show them and foster their
learning to improve themselves and gain more knowledge of this wonderful
hobby.
