Hi all,

I've noted that on the 40m band, CW ranges from 7.000 to 7.040 MHz
Are [UK] technicians allowed access for CW in this area? I've seen many fixed frequency transceivers with a frequency of 7.023 - In the US, (I think) technicians are allowed to use CW from 7.025 - 7.125 MHz, just out of bounds. Is this the same in the UK? Because I want to be able to use one of these kits on the air, (when licenced of course.) :sos:

No, in the UK its between 7.000 and 7.040
So your kit on 7.023 is fine, assuming the freq is free.
The CW section is fixed and does move with level of licence in the UK

I do believe narrow modes stretch up to that point, 040 just being CW specifically. You could in fact use CW up to 7.2 if you really wanted.

you seem really into the cw part of radio, can you send and receive cw? its not that easy, learning the letters is only the start of it, sending them gets harder and the worst part is trying to decode them at speed.

Nevermind Jay, I understood what you were saying. Thanks for the concern Glynn, I do know Morse code, I can send at whatever speed really, and I can copy about 15 wpm. I'm trying to get to 20!

There isn't a UK technicians licence. UK system is a bit different to the US system. The UK three tier system allows almost all band access with a few minor exceptions, and allows the use of all modes. With a UK foundation, immediate or advanced licence, you can operate 7.023 MHz.
