The ARRL board is in favor of retaining CW on HF.

Dan:

Does that also mean they favor retaining code testing for a General or
Extra class license? If so, how hard are they going to work to keep the
current code testing requirement in place?

If the ARRL truly supported code testing, then "Restructuring" would have
come out a whole lot differently, perhaps keeping a 12-WPM test for
Extra. That didn't happen, and it's because the ARRL wants code testing
dropped, for the sake of (hopefully) getting more people licensed and
becoming members. It is their never spoken, hidden agenda.

Supporting "CW" and supporting code testing are two separate and
entirely different things.
