Don't get me wrong, Cecil - you read my input to the Restructuring
Docket and you know that I was in favor of eliminating the code test.

MANUAL MORSE CODE TESTING


14. At the present stage in the development of communications, those
early-year requirements no longer are valid and Manual Morse Code is
considered an obsolete method of communication. Amateur operators are no
longer advised of problems "on the air" by governmental and commercial
operators, and indeed the amateur radio service is the only such service
still using Manual Morse Code for communications.

Heavens!! Did I actually read above that someone else also
suggests that Manual Morse Code is consider obsolete?
