No. With the dropping of Element 1, code testing can now be self taught.
Get on the air, and find someone who will QSO wit ya. And no anyhow.


With the dropping of the code testing, it will be even more important to
have the code practice transmissions. There will be fewer Elmers available
to teach those wish to learn.



What? is there a part of the NPRM I missed like carting off the Code
users to some kind of death camp?

The ending of code testing will not reduce the number of code using
hams.

Time may do that though the actions of the grim reaper and the failure
of Code users to recruit others to replace them, but I doubt that will
kill CW USE or learning of the mode

Further with computers and programs in existance today any one that
wishes to make the attempt to learn Morse Code has the tools to do so
