Some insist CB is an "either-or" relationship with code. The FCC has
assigned space for both. Amateur radio operators have imagined their
own problems.

The "Morse code forever" characters are nearly all retirees hanging on
to an obsolete mode now replaced by other digital modes and analog
communications. The U.S. military abandoned Morse long ago. It hangs on
in the imagination of some unreconstructed "coots".

I`d like my grandchildren to have fun with radio and not bother with
Morse. "You don`t make people learn how to ride a horse before they
drive a car".

Do you have a spare tire in your car in case you get a flat tire? Ham
radio without a CW requirement is like driving your car around without a
spare tire. Why do you people want to dumb everything down all the time.

Eliminating CW is a loss in the number of ways we can communicate.
