My guess is that the FCC didn't move on the code test when the ITU
dropped the requirement because they had a major restructuring in mind
back then and decided to bundle any changes in the code test into the
overall restructuring package per the Incentive Licensing
restructuring. Which is typical regulatory "behavior". Or they had
already decided to retain the code test into the future. With 98% of
the world's population still subject to code tests and given the small
number of countries which have abandoned the code tests it just might
be that the decision to retain the code test here was quietly carved in
stone 4-5 years ago. Conversly though the waivers problem is still out
there . . .
No the waivers problem is over as waivers are no longer allowed since the
only code test is 5wpm.
