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

Sorry Blow Code, but you cannot turn back the hands of time. The 13 & 20
WPM tests are gone forever. And soon, the CW testing requirement will
be eliminated completely. It's the will of the majority. It's
evolution. You can whine, cry and carry on all you want about the CW
testing requirement. It is going the way of the buggy whip, the Ford
Model-T, dinosaurs, the carrier pigeons, and a host of other old,
outdated, and unnecessary things of the past. Good Bye and Good
Riddance.


Spoken like a true appliance operator.


If there is any crying and whining after CW is gone, it will be by phonies
wondering why their bands sound like CB.
