I still hear it on 10 meters. They should test for it if you want CW privilages.

And they should test for the knowledge of shoeing horses to drive a car.

I don't think CW will die. There will always be someone that wants to understand
the beeping that's going on. If someone wants to learn it and use it, let them.
the rest of us are dusting off our 2950's and waiting...

I had to email Riley to answer a lively conversation on 2 meters last night.

Seems some folks can't believe an unmodified 2950 is legal to use on 10 meters.
If I read the rules right, an amateur can use any radio on the ham bands. The
FCC only gets upset when one uses an uncertified radio on a Part 95 band. If
the 2950 has it's jumpers in the stock position, it should be OK on the ham band.
If modified, you can no longer use it anywhere. I'm still waiting for an answer.

I'm not allowed to use my 2950 on CB, my IC-2100 on MURS or my HTX-420 on FRS.

I can use my TRC-451 on CB, my 21-1910 on MURS and my 21-1860 on FRS, however,
if I modify any of them to work 10 meters ,2 meters or 70 centimeters, I'm good.

I guess I'll have to pass Element 3 again. It expired on July 6, 2004. I missed
the Extra test by two questions without even cracking a book the same day I
passed General. No code. I'm still a tech that uses a CB as well as ham.
