Hi,
Yes, no code = open flood gate = demise of ham radio as we know today.
As is, the quality of hams are on the down hill lately. How many are
still soldering, building something? I do.

Same thing was said here in the US when the FCC reduced the requirement

for CW
down to 5 wpm. The predicted doom and armagedon never happened.


Because the code is still in place, maybe???
It's not 20wpm keeping people from getting on HF, it's the willpower to sit
down and LEARN the code in the first place.
Speed has nothing to do with it.
