Saying so doesn't make it true, Dee. Within the goals and purposes of
the
Amateur Radio Service, and to justify a unique testing requirement, how is
Morse code uniquely necessary today? Do remember recreational use is not
sufficient enough to justify a unique testing requirement (recreational
use
is equally applicable to all modes and they don't have a unique testing
requirement).


Well Dwight saying it isn't doesn't make that true either Dwight. I speak
from personal experience. How much HF experience have you had? How much
weak signal VHF experience have you had? Again keep in mind that I have
said Morse is necessary. While I happen to believe that testing should be
maintained that is NOT the point I am debating at this time and you keep
trying to drag it back to testing. I am stating that Morse code itself is
necessary.
