Here's an update on various estimates of when Morse code testing will be eliminated in the US. Note that four predicted dates are in the past. Given that ARRL likely will lobby for continuing a code test for Amateur Extra (12-13WPM?) applicants, I predict that Morse testing will not be eliminated in this decade. While it's a cop out, it's probably the only way they can get 15 politicians to sign up for a "New Amateur Radio Plan" without a palace revolt on their hands at the BoD meeting. They'll be able to go back to East Overshoe, Iowa and Resume Speed, Arizona and mumble platitudes to their membership about how "We've opened HF to non-Morse applicants, but where it really counts we actually increased the Morse requirement." That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 73, de Hans, K0HB |

You mean they will increase the requirements from 5wpm? - Mike KB3EIA - |
