Here's the question?
Tell us WHY the FCC wouldn't dump the code test now?


WOW, that is a good question. And, one I don't think I have a good
answer
for. So, maybe the FCC will just drop it. The only thing I can
generally
think of, is that they have no more "incentive" to drop it than to
just
leave it as it is.

But the FCC does indeed have an incentive...simplification
of the licensing process and minimizing rules to the
fullest extent possible.

Going back to the "corporate entity" theory; the FCC would spend more
dollars revamping the program than to just stay with it the way it is.

Yey that ISwhat they are paid to do.

And, dropping the CW element wouldn't do
a thing in terms of minimizing any R&R, would it?

Sure it would. It reduces test requirements and
avoids processing the Element 1 has been passed
data from VECs.

More likly than the above, however, will be the movement
of other countries to a nocode structure (e.g. UK, Netherlands,
and others). It appears...although I don't know the legal
detains for those countries, that they may move to nocode
within weeks or only a few months.
