Let them vent, Kim. If it were the other way around, you would feel the
same way. I knew this was coming for a long time, so I've made peace with
it. The truth be told, it's not going to change the way I operate a bit.
As a bit of an aside, the two "Morse" operators at field day were still the
most popular -- we gave the club the most points and had the most on-lookers
(some things will never change) :-))

Well said, Arnie. I agree 100%.

Conditions this year on FD weren't so hot. I have read many reports of FD
operations where the "Morse" QSOs outnumbered the 'phone QSOs, even though
there were more rigs dedicated to voice. Digital modes were a far, far distant
third.

Over the past few years, the total number of FD "Morse" QSOs has been growing
faster than the voice QSO totals. Wouldn't it be ironic if this was the year
"Morse" became No. 1 on FD?

Well, I am a no-code tech and am actually not looking forward to the end of the
CW requirement. I am studying code now and will continue to do so. I take my
upgrade test in Sept. and can't wait to get my code ticket.

Same story here (don't have a tech, though). Now I'm racing the clock
to take the test while it exists; it would be a bummer if they rammed
the elimination of the code test through before I was ready. :-)
