A 5wpm code test does not discriminate against Americans with disabilities.
Disabled people have passed while their unhandicapped brethren have sat on

Explain to me why a deaf person should now need to know morse code? When the
silly horse and buggy test was rammed down their throats by the US government
they could use lights. Now how is a deaf person supposed to use morse code
sitting in their home listening to the radio? With modern digital
communications like PSK31, Pactor and RTTY a deaf person can enjoy ham radio.
And as always they can use a computer to decode morse code as they have in the
past. But for them to learn morse code through some silly light system is pure
discrimination because the deaf have no way of decoding morse by ear.
The morse code test for deaf people is pure discrimination and now that s25.5
no longer requires a proficiency to know and send morse code the FCC better
move fast to remove this discrimination.
