What makes you all better operators it HAS been removed, so if you do not
like it why don't you take up knitting or something. or stop all the
bickering If the truth is known a lot of us have come up from the CB ranks
over the years

Uhhhhhh...Derek, Old Man...it has NOT been "removed".

The text of S25.5 was changed so as to allow specific
administrations to determine wether or not to require code testing.

As of today it is still the law of the land in the United States,
and shall continue to be so until the FCC acts on the pending
petitions to remove it. I have no doubt it will be removed, but the
rulemaking process must and will be followed.

And rather than "take up knitting", may I recommend a remedial
English Composition course for you?
