Becareful not insult COBOL here, they probably think that is a new
state-of-the-art computer language! grin

I couldn't agree more with dropping CW from the ham test.
It reminds me of the legal profession here in South Africa.
It used to be a requirement that lawyers had to pass Latin in
high
school
and have at least two courses in Latin for their law degree.
That was scrapped about ten years ago amid loud protests from the
dinosaurs.
Today the law profession is flourishing more than ever before
with high
quality judges and advocates.
The only thing I have noticed is that the high and mighty no
longer spew
out
Latin quotations = R.I.P.

Our SARL (South African Radio League) ham club is diminishing by
the
year
and the once crowded ham bands are now empty.
We need to make it easier for new entrants to come into this
wonderful
hobby.

Why does everything need to be made easier? Can't the 'tards learn
the
code? If
so, WHY can't the 'tards learn the code?

If ordinary folks could pass the test in years past what is so
different
today?

Laziness?

It's like being certified in COBOL when you work on MSSQL, it's a
waste of
time.
