Default What Happens to Us that Passed General Written, but failed Morse Code Test?

"Dave" wrote in message
...
I passed my general written test 3 months ago, but failed the Morse Code
test. Will I be able to automatically upgrade to General once the rules
change
or do I need to take a new general written Test?


Very FEW things are automatic -- just due to a rule change.
When is anything in government automatic?
You don't get US social security -- unless you file the paperwork !
Most state drivers licenses are not either -- these days !

You have to take the initiative (to FCC and VE representatives) that you are
still alive and
you are still interested (passion and desire for "radio art") in becoming
licensed radio amateur.
"Radio art" is the FCC words from recent R&O -- it is NOT a cell phone, CB,
or FRS radio service.
