I am not sure the FCC should be requiring it while not testing for the various digital modes or message handling - seems inconsistent It's consistent with dropping requirements all around. Broadcast stations no longer need licensed personnel on duty (that's been the case for a few decades now), you can repair two-way radios without being licensed and you can operate on the ham bands without having to really pass any test. |

This code argument really gets old. I passed the General 13WPM code. Bidg
deal. Yeah, I like to use CW, but do I think people need to be tested on CW? Heck NO! Let's end this antiquated test. It's a modern era. If you want to learn it -fine, but don't push your old and outdated beliefs on anyone else.

Not no more. What can be passed by CW that cannot be passed by voice??? Adhere to the ICAO's phonetic alphabet, and there need be no bi-lingualism nor a CW requirement. When things start failing communication wise worldwide, amateur radio might be all there is to relay messages, and the ITU just removed one of the legs of a three leg stool. Dear Slow, air traffic controllers don't use Morris Code, and they communicate with foreign speakers JUST FINE! |
