Hello, Jim

Now, perhaps, everyone can put this code vs no code thing behind us.

I can put the issue away, but not some of the hard feelings developed
along the way. There are several individuals on this group that I
would never care to meet on the air or in person.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the group can quiet down a bit and get back to more
serious discussions ...

Perhaps now we can discuss N2EY's proposal for a No-Test service. I'm
sure he's eager to roll that one out again.

FCC announced today that Element 1, the 5 wpm Morse Code test, will no
longer be required for
any class of US amateur license. Technicians will get Technician Plus
privileges.

See news item on

www.fcc.gov

The effective date of this change isn't clear but should be soon.
