Why not maintain the 5WPM requirement in the U.S., but give No-Code Techs
access to the 80, 40, 15, and 10 meter old novice sub-bands. This would
allow aspiring upgraders a place to hone their skills without having to
just listen to recordings. Also, the sending skills can be developed as
well. A side benefit would be hearing the sound of CW again ( even if
it's
bad) in these largly unused segments. Just a thought.



That's what I have thought would be a good way to go. Simply make all Tech
licenses the equivalent of the current Tech with Morse. That gives them the
old Novice code bands and the old "Novice enhancement" of 10m voice.
