As always, you are exactly technically correct.

...to PAST definitions...which are NOT quite definitions in the
official sense but rather "CW" (Conventional Wisdom).

In the FUTURE (which happens right after everyone reads

Ahem...FCC 06-178 is the revolutionary decision which
is bound to upset many applecarts, rending of garments,
applications of soot, gnashing of teeth, etc. Woe! (sort of
rhymes with "sow") Skies falling, etc.

UN-created code testing for amateur radio licenses in the
very, very near future...like Friday. :-)

A "No Code VEC" in the future? Why not?

If the nice ladies in my Catholic Altar Society, the ones who do all the
