 John:
 I agree that Morse code proficiency has nothing to do with speaking or
 typing -- but the ability to effectively employ the Morse/CW mode -- at
 speeds greater than 5 WPM -- will keep you communicating when conditions
 prevent you from communicating by voice or digital modes.  You have done
 nothing but provide personal, anecdotal proof that reducing code testing
 requirements down to a mere 5 WPM maximum was NOT a good thing!
You know...the claim that CW "will keep you communicating when conditions
prevent you from communicating by voice or digital modes" has been made time
and time again.  Time and time again there have been requests for proof of
this claim.  None has been provided.
To state something does not make it so.
