And your speed is what "John Smith". What makes you qualified to even
comment on this? Do you operate on CW? Save you the time. Your a big
mouth know nothing about the subject. Damn...it may be Lennie.

Morse is a ghost language spoken by old men when they do their rants and

The new 5 WPM test for all classes will guarantee you will NOT be
speaking morse to any young men--they will pass the 5 WPM to get the
extra license... then you will never see them again--except on phone and
modem...

Not so. I've worked several licensees in the CW November Sweeps who gave
their year of license as 2000 and AFTER. I currently know several people
who have passed their 5wpm so they never have to take the test again but
continue to work diligently to get up to both conversational and contest
speeds.
