Then I'll answer it, Dwight. Because preparing for and passing Element 1
requires one to demonstrate a tad more effort and dedication than
passing
written exams for which the Q & A pools are published. The 5-wpm is
sufficient enough of a challenge to require some serious studying effort
over approx two or three weeks, but not enough to discourage any
individual
serious about earning HF privileges. For those who are not, the no-code
Technician license is available. It's really quite simple.


that's true until the rules are changed and CW testing is taken out.

Sadly correct, Clint.
