FCC announced today that Element 1, the 5 wpm Morse Code test, will
no longer be required for
any class of US amateur license. Technicians will get Technician
Plus privileges.

See news item on

www.fcc.gov

The effective date of this change isn't clear but should be soon.

I still don't want one. Mostly assholes there.

Can't blame ya. Mark is there tho, surely that should entice you?

They really shouldn't do away with the CW requirement, imo. It keeps the
mental midgets like Mark and Dogie Adair riding the short bus, right?

I don't mean to throw all ham operators under the bus, by no means. Some of
them are the nicest people you will ever meet in person or on 11 meters.
