Not necessary, Dwight. I was right the first time.
Heh...no you weren't - FCC dropped the 13 and 20WPM tests last time,
just like they'll drop the remaining vestiges of code testing this
time around.
There's still time for you to change your mind before a report & order
comes out, though...

John:
I have stated many times that I fully expect the FCC to abolish code
testing as a result of WRC-03. This will have little or no impact on me
personally, so I have nothing to change my mind about. I will always
be a 20-WPM code-tested Extra-class amateur radio operator, and
nobody can take that away from me. Unfortunately for the new Zeroed-
Out Hams, nothing can confer that status upon them. I will continue
to operate as I always have. I don't ask anyone's license class or
code speed on-the-air.
