The Brazilian regulator will no longer require Morse Code for amateur licences under changes that have been under consideration since 2020. The regulator will update content in its exams for its three licence classes. This is one of several changes contained in a resolution released on April 28th by ANATEL. The resolution also grants hams the ability to operate on Citizens Band 11-metre frequencies. They must identify with their callsigns and are limited to 10 watts of power in AM and 25 watts of power in SSB. They must also stay within authorized channels.
The regulator expects to move ahead with these changes after a six-month period in which supplementary regulations will also be issued.
