FCC announced today that Element 1, the 5 wpm Morse Code test,
will no longer be required for
any class of US amateur license. Technicians will get
Technician
Plus privileges.
See news item on
www.fcc.gov
The effective date of this change isn't clear but should be
soon.

Can't blame ya. Mark is there tho, surely that should entice you?
They really shouldn't do away with the CW requirement, imo. It keeps
the mental midgets like Mark and Dogie Adair riding the short bus,
right?
I don't mean to throw all ham operators under the bus, by no means.
Some
of
them are the nicest people you will ever meet in person or on 11
meters.
Hello Mopar,
You have the nicest way of putting it .... You can tell someone to go
