Has anyone come up with that WOW argument that will justify
the need for morse testing? So far, nothing new has been
offered by PCTAs at all.

well, no..... all the arguments being given to keep the code testing
are easily broken down into thier base, most center-core reason...

"I HAD TO DO IT, SO THEY SHOULD HAVE TO!!!!!"

And that just falls flat on its face.

Clint yoiu'e been reading way too much NCI propaganda for far too long.
So long in fact that YOU have fell flat on your face, or maybe the other
end.
I am capable of passing any sort of radio traffic by way of
radiotelgraphy, which I learned as a requirement of my licensure as a
ham radio operator. There is no reason for you to be exempted from the
same.

That argument/claim found no favor in the past. The reality is that
neither the FCC nor almost every emergency preparedness
organization/operation has no desire or need for morse in
their plans. Individual hams may make the claim, but they
aren't executing the claim in the vast universe of RACES, ARES
and other amateur emergency operations.
