Wonderfl, then you'll learn code if you want to participate there.
If not, nothing lost. More to the point, is there any minimum code
speed that should be banned from the CW/data segments at the
bottom of the bands?

Excellent point.... yet another reason why specific code speed testing
is irrelavent. AND, for that matter, it leads to the next argument...
what of those people that have true disabilities and cannot pass a
CW test, and have a physician's written excuse, when they had faster
than 5 wmp testing? they were NOT required to take a 13 or 20 wpm
test... yet, somehow, they were accepted into the world of ham radio
as legal operators. How is it POSSIBLE that they did this without
having ever passed a profeciency test @ high speed CW?

Oh, that's right. Because it's not really that necessary in the first place.

Russia isn't even in this top 8 list.
France, Russia and Germany, COMBINED,
