Phil queried:
I would like to take code exams even if they are
not required by the FCC.

Will VEs continue to conduct code exams and
perhaps offer wpm level certificates?

Kudos to you for wanting to do so. ARRL's station W1AW sends Morse practice
daily. There's a monthly "Qualifying Run" that you can copy, send your
results to ARRL, and (if 100% correct for = 1 minute) receive a certificate
in return. If you have difficulty hearing W1AW from CT and you're on the
"left coast", you may be able to hear K6YR better (Qualifying Runs only).
There are also sound files online for practice. Details are he

Stephan suggested that VEs could additionally offer optional Morse
certification at license testing sessions. What a great idea -- especially
for those w/o the capability to receive the transmissions! ARRL, are you
listening?
