When they drop the morse code test requirement, it's

Why not? That's all that most of the anticodetest petitions are asking

for.

Both the NCI and NCVEC petitions simply ask for the dropping of Element

1 and

nothing else.

I don't think it can work by "just" dropping the test. Too many loos
ends. Tech plus, novices, that kind of thing.

Actually it would work quite easily. Everyone keeps their current
privileges except that all varieties of Techs are combined to one class of
Tech with the privileges of the Tech with HF.

It might be interesting to see if any tech's try out Morse code under
those contitions. Bootstrapping themselves to competence?

However, as you know I think they ought to keep the code test.

Me too, but it's nice to have a discussion that doesn't involve Morse code.
