In the spirit of "privitization", why don't you and some
like-dedicated folks set up a table at some place and run code
tests, granting an appropriate certificate for whatever speed the
passer-by ham copies.

Oh, I'm sorry - the "anti-code-test" ARRL has already done it. It's
called the Code Proficiency Award, instead of the CSRC or whatever
the VEs used to call theirs.

I'll have to find my certificate somewhere so I can put a few
higher-speed stickers on it when the time comes.
