VK is abolishing code testing effective January 1st. One more down...

How many down - and how many to go?

What difference does it make?

Just trying to keep tabs on how things are going.

The number of countries that
have ended or are scheduled to end code testing can
only increase.

Probably.

Not a single of those countries is ever
likly to change back (IMHO).

So I ask again, what difference does it make?

It will be interesting to see what happens to amateur radio in the countries
where code testing has been eliminated. For example, will we see a sustained
increase in growth?
