Think the CW requirement is eliminated? Think again! Cw is still required
for:

1. Any Novice or Technician transmitting on 80m (3525-3600)
2. Any Novice or Technician transmitting on 40m (7025-7125)
3. Any Novice or Technician transmitting on 15m (21025-21200)
4. ANY amateur transmitting on 50.0 - 50.1 MHz
5. ANY amateur transmitting on 144.0 - 144.1 MHz


Of course. We'll need to develop some strategy for accommodating
untested for code hams who may want to give CW a try. To help them
learn the code by using it. Maybe some form of cross mode QSOs, where
the beginner and an elmer can use phone, and switch to CW either on the
same frequency, or onto another freq in the CW segment. Like a code
class, but on the air.
