But nothing does prohibit a Technician Class ham from building an amp for 
his license class.  And I don't think that spread spectrum is going to 
fly in HF.  Both of these are doable in with a Tech license and have 
NOTHING to do with learning code.  Reducing code requirements will not 
give us a smarter amateur.  

But I ask this?  How many tech class hams are building amps at VHF/UHF?  
What is so special about HF that giving it to them would suddenly save 
our hobby, revive all the technical expertise and so on?

OK, OK I'll stop.  I promise this time.
