Let's hope not!

Let us hope that shortly when CW only proves to be an annoyance to the
CB'er attempting to get smokey reports and exercise their roger beep
and echo mics--that they will mount a campaign to have CW banned from
HF so it doesn't interfere with data communications and voice!

I'm not against CW use, just the testing angle. If somebody wants to use CW,
well that's fine by me.

BTW, I got my ticket to General. Do you know how many times I
have used
code?
ZERO. I have already forgotten the alphabet.

You know that was one of the points the FCC mentioned in it's
NPRM, the
frequency that Hams learn the code and then never use it, as one
point in
their decision to drop Morse testing completely.


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

There is no need to have any test for CW. The use of it will stand
or fall
on it's own merits without any artificial boost due to testing
requirements.
CW will never die out completely, like classic cars, somebody will
always
have an interest in it.
