Only four people still in, I see (including one whose date has
passed, but
we're less than half way to the next date).
N4PGW doesn't show on the above list but he's in.
I predict that Canada, Spain and Italy will all make the change
before the
US
Probably.
(seems like most other countries already have).
Really?
Do you have a list of how many countries still require code testing for
at least one class of amateur radio license, vs. those who have no code
testing?
It would be interesting to see the actual totals. Even better if the
number of hams in those countries were included, and growth since the
change vs. before the change.
