ARRL May Seek HF Data Privileges for Technicians
Among other actions taken by the ARRL board of directors at its July meeting, it tasked its executive committee with looking into the possibility of seeking "limited RTTY/data privileges for Technician licensees on 80, 40, and 15 meters," according to a summary in the ARRL Letter. Techs currently have only CW (Morse code) privileges on those bands.
