morse might be dropped the band will become full of CB people who will wreak
havoc? And why do you class all CB'ers as the same?

all you have to do is observe the behaviour on this newsgroup.

the outrageous foul language used.

by even attempting to do the morse test shows an attempt and willingness
to improve.
something that 2500 showed they didnt have when they ran away.

and worse... they showed it to the authorities.
