I think the latter would be an excellent idea. I would vounteer to "VE" such
as session. Also, aren't there certain FCC licenses that require 20 wpm
testing (like Radiotelegraph)? Not sure if this license class is obsolete...

I think ham radio was the last service that required a code test.

One thing that I would like but many people on the ng would disagree with: A
certain vanity callsign format reserved only for amateurs who posses such a
certificate.


Not gonna happen, the FCC is not likely to want to be saddled with
another chore to enforce that.

The best way to demonstrate your code skills is to get on the air and
participate in CW QSOs and contests. Enjoy.
