There is one more rule pending. I think its due to come out
on Jan 16th or 175h of Jan. Lets see what that one has to say
about CW or NOT.

Well, you are absolutely WRONG and/or you have not read the ruling very
well. What the announcement refers to is the elimination of Element I as
a requirement for a US Amateur license. There is no "prohibition" against
the use of Morse. BBC is mistaken, and since when has the news media gotten
a whole lot right in reporting the news? US Amateur still may certain use CW
to their heart's content, and, indeed, with the exception of the changes
announced prior the CW ruling, the allocations for the USE of CW remain in
place.

I suggest you go back and fully read the actual announcement where you will
find that a "prohibition" against Morse Code is a myth.

So, how about my Radiotelegraph License. I suppose I will have to renew. Are
the code requirments still in effect? I suppose many of you who got the Extra
Class licesnses like me , also want to strive for the highest and get their
Radiotelegraph License with Ship Radar endorsments, and of course
Rafiotelephone also. I always thought they should have had a higher Amateur
class available.??
