FCC Radiotelegraph Operator Licenses	Reply

Are current FCC Radiotelegraph Operator Licenses still issued in certificate form or, as with other FCC licenses, only in card form? Thanks for any responses.

Go here and request the information... www.fcc.gov You should see some kind of contact button somewhere on their website. These are the people who would know with certainty the answer to your question. By the way I have asked the FCC a question or two from time to time and I will testify in any court of law that they do answer their email--it may take a few days but they do answer.

My Restricted Radiotelegraph Operator's license came on a form identical to my Amateur Radio operator's license. I suspect the higher classifications are going to be the same, but I don't have firsthand knowledge.

Yes. I hold a Second Class Radiotelegraph License with the service endorsement and it is still a certificate, but smaller than they used to be since the bottom part is made to be cut off and carried. The telegraph licenses also have your photo on them.

Funny, the last time I looked at the FCC website, it only showed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Class Radiotelegraph Operator Certificates, all of which require passing Elements 1 and 5 (written examinations) and a receiving (copy) with a possible requirement by the COLEM that one passes a sending test. The only Restricted Commercial License I can see is the Restricted Radiotelephone Operator License. 73's Michael KC8WUC * Disclaimer * As I have no wish to toy with anybody's life, I suggest you take this and all other posts with a certain amount of skepticism. Carefully evaluate, and if necessary, research on your own any suggestions or advice you might pick up here, especially those from my posts, as I obviously haven't the skill and experience exhibited by some of the more illustrious and more successful members of this forum.

if you look up in the grt section of the fcc website it specifically states that they will apply the credit from your 20 wpm amateur element in place of the 25 wpm element required for radiotelegraph license in addition to the amateur 20 wpm element all you need to get a complete amateur radiotelegraph license is the elements required for the general radiotelegraph license read the website read the fcc website go to the fcc website please im begging you if you are half intelligent as i know most of you are go to the fcc website and look at that feature they are giving extras that passed their 20 wpm certificate a general radio telegraph license if they have a general radio telephone i lost my copy of the grt and they cant find it this is total waste of time

"all you need to get a complete amateur radiotelegraph license is the elements required for the general radiotelegraph license" WHAAAA??? WHAT is an "amateur radiotelegraph license"? There are Class 1, 2, and 3 Commercial Radiotelegraph licenses that have nothing to do with the amateur service and there are, at present three classes of amateur license. There has NEVER been a mixture of the two. As far as I know, it has never been possible to substitute passing an amateur exam element for a commercial requirement, though, I believe, the reverse did apply at one time and still may. It is my understanding that, now, if you want to apply for ANY class of radiotelegraph license, you have to show NEED for that license such as pending employment before you are even eligible to apply. It has long been required to have "time in service" to qualify for a 1st Class Telegraph license. Tom

Mistyped. I don't believe there is, or ever was, a Class 3 Telegraph "permit" (NOT license). My hand was going faster than my brain. There was/is?, however, a Class 3 Phone Permit. Tom

You do not have to prove a need for the T-2 or T-3 Certificates. If you have a current Amateur Extra License and took and passed the 20 wpm test, you don''t need to take the code test for T2 or T3. You just submit a copy of your current and 20 wpm licenses, take elements 1 and 5 for a T3, Third Class Radiotelegraph Operator's Certificate or take elements 1, 5, and 6 for the T2, Second Class Radiotelegraph Operator's Certificate. The T1 requires an additional morse test and service endorsement. If you didn't do the 20 wpm Extra, then you take a couple of sending / receiving tests.
