massive cut

Recently there have been some claims about "what the majority wants" in
regards to FCC NPRMs.

Here's what happened wrt 98-143, the last big restructuring NPRM, and
commenters' views on code testing.

57% is a clear majority, but FCC ignored it and went to 5 wpm for all
license classes requiring a code test.

wrong the FCC looked at it and did their JOB and ruled on what they
thought was in the Public Interest, they did not ignore anything

For the record, I supported 5 wpm for General, 12 or 13 wpm for
Advanced, and 20 wpm for Extra.
