There is one more rule pending. I think its due to come out
on Jan 16th or 175h of Jan. Lets see what that one has to say
about CW or NOT.

Well, you are absolutely WRONG and/or you have not read the ruling very
well. What the announcement refers to is the elimination of Element I
as a requirement for a US Amateur license. There is no "prohibition"
against the use of Morse. BBC is mistaken, and since when has the news
media gotten a whole lot right in reporting the news? US Amateur still may
certain use CW to their heart's content, and, indeed, with the exception
of the changes announced prior the CW ruling, the allocations for the USE
of CW remain in place.

I suggest you go back and fully read the actual announcement where you
will find that a "prohibition" against Morse Code is a myth.


Everyone has told him this and posted links to the actual R&O on the web
page. He absolutely refuses to compare what it says to what the BBC
reported. I suspect that he wants it prohibited and so is indulging in
wishful thinking.
