As I often said in the past 5 years, when FCC wrote that
code testing served no regulatory purpose other than
treaty compliance, the deal was essentially done.

The amazing thing was that it's taken two years to get
this far.

More likely it took that long because the FCC had more
important stuff to deal with.


They didn't ban Morse Code. They just dropped the
license test for it. CW will survive anyway.

We ought to start CW training nets to get hams to
get into CW. Use the old novice subbands for it.
Sure, you'll hear lots of bad sending at first, but
people will improve over time.
