Utter nonsense! As the holder of a pilot's licence, you must hold a FRTOL to operate an aircraft radio irrespective of the airspace in which you are flying. It is true, however, that a radio is not mandatory equipment outside controlled airspace.
That is true.....however, if the OP wants to fly an aircraft without a radio, from an airfield where the staff are happy to assist with lamp signals, then where is the requirement for him to have an FRTOL?
BillieBob's rather rash staement is akin to saying that you must hold an instument rating to fly on airways in IMC. True, but bugger all to do with what the OP and others may be intending.
Perghaps the OP should have written, "unles you want to operate a radio"
