I regret that I oppose RM-11828. Although encouraging new Technician licensees
to get on the air and to progress to General or Extra is important for the
Amateur Radio Service, allowing
Technicians access to digital modes would merely substitute one hurdle
(interfacing a computer to an HF transceiver) for another
(learning CW). Furthermore some digital modes are already 
experiencing congestion on 40 and 80 meters at certain times of
the day.

What would make more sense, I think, is allowing Technician
licensees limited voice privileges on 40 and 80 meters. But
that's not what RM-11828 proposes.
