Remind me Jim, what do FISTS propose? Given that they are an organisation
for the promotion of CW, I have trouble beleiving that they would suggest
anything that is actually responsive to the removal of the international CW
test requirement, but I could be wrong(?).

Alun, please remember that FISTS is an organization that promotes the
fun of morse code use. It was not meant to be a political
organization.

FISTS, a mighty force (with a woman at the helm) is bound and
determined to have EVERYONE enjoying what they enjoy...
despite the high noise floor of independent thought.

They make [expletive deleted] sure that will be ENFORCED by
keeping the morse code test in amateurism forever and ever.

FISTS represents the "amateur community."

Ergo, all amateurs must demonstrate their dedication and resolve
by satisfying FISTS.

The amateur LAW can never be changed to remove a morse test.
Unthinkable in 1930s thinking. Heretical.
