Just my thoughts.

I admired the old US licensing regime with the advanced licence requiring
20wpm......I had a blind American friend K1HBJ/GM5BKJ and 20 wpm was no
problem to him.....but those days have passed and all is lost.....

Theres still the full licence to aim for. That takes a keen knowledge of
Morse does it not, so its still there for those that aspire to it. As for
being blind, as Pointyhead said (I think it was him) its learned through
hearing and used like a language. It doesn't require sight (apart to see
maybe what frequency he/she is transmitting on) so being blind could even
be considered an advantage.

Regards,
Graham
