Anyway, CW testing is all over bar the shouting. The unanimously agreed
language, now passed through all the commitee levels, makes it optional.
It just has to be nodded through at the plenary session. This allows those
countries mentioned, plus Germany to retain CW testing without it seeming
that it no longer relates to ITU rules, whilst also allowing every other
country to dump CW teasting.

Actually, the German radio administration support the deletion
of ITU rule S25.5. They are record that they will not continue
the domestic requirement.

It is the German IARU society that supports code exams.
