Whilst the international definition of radio telegraphy is broader than simply Morse, the RSGB believes that these words in the PDNR are capable of misinterpretation, and should be removed.
Most particularly, the RSGB formally asks, in returning to the original Lillehammer decisions, that no further amplification be included in the “Operating Skills” section through inclusion of words such as “radio telegraphy”, which are capable of misinterpretation.
In this respect, the RSGB asks for confirmation that it is not the intention to seek, through the wording of M-AOQ, the continuation of the requirement for mandatory Morse testing for an HF amateur licence.

RSGB General Manager Peter Kirby, G0TWW, said in a message circulated this week to the UK amateur community that he does not want the Society to be seen as scaremongering.

Summary: The Radio Society of Great Britain raises a very robust objection to the current commercial proposals for PLT in the High Frequency spectrum with the currently suggested radiation levels.
The Society supports the introduction of broadband technologies provided they do not exceed a level allowing radio and telecommunications apparatus to operate as intended.
Nevertheless even at these very low data rates, the harmful effect of these emissions on radio systems all over the spectrum used for radio communication is at once evident, as soon as emissions exceed the conventional limits.
