_Industry Canada Introduces Alternatives to Morse Requirement for HF_
Per Canada Gazette notice DGRB-003-05 22 July 2005, Industry Canada has
adopted elements of the RAC "Proposal on Morse Code and Related Matters"
and has removed the mandatory requirement for the Morse Qualification
for access to the HF bands below 30 MHz.
Effective immediately, amateurs certified with BASIC Qualification prior
to 2 April 2002, and amateurs certified with both BASIC and ADVANCED
Qualifications, may operate on HF. Amateurs with BASIC only
Qualification certified after 1 April 2002, and who achieved a pass mark
of 80% or greater, will also be allowed to operate on HF. Amateurs
certified BASIC only Qualification after 1 April 2002 having achieved
less than 80% pass mark, will either have to qualify in Morse, write the
Advanced or re-write the Basic examination to obtain HF privileges. This
latter requirement is related to a decision to increase the BASIC
examination pass mark to ensure that candidates have been tested in all
areas of the syllabus.
