Here's an update on various estimates of when Morse code testing will be
eliminated in the US. Note that seven predicted dates, including my own
prediction, are in the past.

WA2SI: September 13, 2003
KF6TPT: September 29, 2003
KC8EPO: December 31, 2003
K2UNK: January 1, 2004
K2ASP: March 15, 2004
AA2QA: April 1, 2004
N2EY: April 15, 2004
N3KIP: May 1, 2004
KC8PMX: July 1, 2004
WA2ISE: August 1, 2004
K3LT: September 15, 2004
WK3C: December 30, 2004

At the rate the FCC is moving, I'm wishing I'd picked N8UZE's date of July
1, 2005 ... while I prefer my date, I'm beginning to think it's going to
take them that long ... can I add 6 months to mine and make it June 1,
2005???

Sorry, Carl, if I do it for you then I gotta do it for everybody and
the whole point of the pool is lost.

The original ARRL blurb on WRC-03 said it would take two years. That's
almost exactly Dee's date.

Frankly I am surprised it's taken this long - and with the new NPRM
out there, it may be even further down the pike.

N8UZE: July 1, 2005
KB3EIA: July 5, 2007 ("minimum 4 years from date of requirement drop")
K0HB: January 1, 3000

Closest date (before or after) wins. Anyone else?
