Elimination of CW is a loss in the number of ways we can communicatewith other.

John,
Just get on digital modes. Don't worry about CW. Digital is where the
fun is and the copy is much better.
A buddy of mine in St. Louis and I experimented with low power and
various digital modes last night on 40 meters. CW was marginal. The
best was DominoEX with FEC - just about 100% all the time and it also
has a second channel to display additional information.
CW can be fun at times, but maybe it's not your thing. Let the
stone-age hams continue with CW, and move up and on to the digital
modes.
Yes, just as long as it's still required to get a license and the speeds
need to be bumped back up to 13 & 20wpm again.
