The evidence of the survey is clear. You can "stick head and eyes in the
sand" but it is still there.

Again, what is the date of that survey?

Bill, it doesn't really matter...:-) Once a "survey" was done, it is
FIXED for all time as indicating "what hams do" years and years
after... :-)

Case in point: FCC 98-143 was the NPRM for restructuring, was
issued 5 years ago. The R&O giving the restructuring changes
(99-412) was issued late in 1999. Anyone can go to the FCC ECFS
and get any of the Comments on the record, they are still available,
all 2,760 of them. The latest Comment, from a 1x3 who puts "PhD"
after his name, bitched about the 5 WPM morse top rate, was filed in
September 2003! Five years later a few folks haven't gotten the
news... :-)

[in 2001 the FCC issued 01-108 to deny at least 5 petitions to bring
back high-rate morse testing, two years before the "PhD" decided to
complain. Gotta love all these aware and informed morsemen! :-)]
