At some point in the future, the Morse code test is possibly going to
go away. But it may take years for that to happen, and you'll miss out
on the fun. The requirement is not too hard, except for people like me
that have some bad hearing problems, (but I still did it) so don't miss
out on the fun. A Morse code trainer such as NuMorse (do a web search)
is a great help.
Just to add some shameless plugs for Nu-Ware g
You can get NuMorse Professional and another code trainer called
NuCode from the Nu-Ware site at:

http://www.nu-ware.com/

NuCode is a complete training course especially designed for newbies.
On the same site there is a program designed to help you through the
FCC written theory exams at all levels, Technician, General and Extra.
You can download fully working demos of all these programs and try
them out before deciding to pay for them. 73 Tony Lacy, G4AUD, NuMorse
