-------------- ---------------
Grand Total 2892 916
Indeterminate (note 1) 180 69
Value for Percentages 2708 847
Against NPRM (note 2) 846 [30.26%] 294 [34.71%]
For NPRM (note 3) 1434 [52.95%] 398 [46.99%]
Test Extra Only (note 4) 428 [15.81%] 155 [18.30%]

This tabulation in agreement with FCC ECFS as of 3 PM EDT 26 Oct 05.

Since the official publication in the Federal Register, the comments
seem to be turning "pro-code".

46.99% favor fully removing the cw test.
53.01% favor retaining some level of cw test.

Nothing like jabbing Lennie withn his own "research...

Allow me to add from Lennie's later post of the day:

UNQUOTE.

With THESE numbers, "Litoi", it's even better...Notice in the "ALL
to date" column, "support" (for the NPRM) dropped a whole percentage
point in only five hours per Lennie's reporting! And the support FOR
code testing in that five hours in the "Since Notice" column jumped
almost 3 points.

It's a good day.
