BTW, I got my ticket to General. Do you know how many times I have used
code?
ZERO. I have already forgotten the alphabet.

You know that was one of the points the FCC mentioned in it's NPRM, the
frequency that Hams learn the code and then never use it, as one point in
their decision to drop Morse testing completely.


I still hear it on 10 meters. They should test for it if you want CW
privilages.

There is no need to have any test for CW. The use of it will stand or fall
on it's own merits without any artificial boost due to testing requirements.
CW will never die out completely, like classic cars, somebody will always
have an interest in it.

I guess that is true.
