I am not sure the FCC should be requiring it while not testing for the various digital modes or message handling - seems inconsistent It's consistent with dropping requirements all around. Broadcast stations no longer need licensed personnel on duty (that's been the case for a few decades now), you can repair two-way radios without being licensed and you can operate on the ham bands without having to really pass any test. |

till you can explain what value knowing the name has you can begin to convince me that you went a through a test as realavant as mine The licensing hierarchy (and the morse code debate) isn't about value, it's about status. It's about having a chip on your shoulder that says "I'm better than you". |

Good for you! It's not often that someone would come right out and admit that a radop that can copy high speed CW is better than himself, but you did. Congrats! could I have the honor of knowing your call sign? |

Yep, it was a mistake.
But it's over and done - more than 3 years ago. What could be done to change it back? The time to stop the change is long gone. |

Not no more. What can be passed by CW that cannot be passed by voice??? Adhere to the ICAO's phonetic alphabet, and there need be no bi-lingualism nor a CW requirement. When things start failing communication wise worldwide, amateur radio might be all there is to relay messages, and the ITU just removed one of the legs of a three leg stool. Dear Slow, air traffic controllers don't use Morris Code, and they communicate with foreign speakers JUST FINE! |

Since 1955 for international civil aviation. It's taken from the NATO approved phonetic alphabet which came out earlier the same year. I remember it well since I had to learn the "new" phonetic alphabet in a hurry while in the Army then. :-) When things start failing communication wise worldwide, amateur radio might be all there is to relay messages, and the ITU just removed one of the legs of a three leg stool. Dear Slow, air traffic controllers don't use Morris Code, and they communicate with foreign speakers JUST FINE! Ever since 1955 the worldwide common language for civil aviation communications on airways has been English spoken as well as (now) data. That includes pilots as well as controllers, even in and over their native country; a non-English speaking country MAY use their native language but the civil airways can have many nations' aircraft in it. Blowcode is just another troll who has his head up his ass in regards to radio communications. That head just hasn't been aware of what happened in radio for a half century. The ITU didn't "just remove" anything. The ITU-R made the code test for an amateur license with below-30-MHz privileges OPTIONAL to each administration. In 2003. THREE years ago, not "just now." :-) |
