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.

Or, they could simply use the tested and true method of calling CQ at the
speed they are comfortable with (much simpler :-))
