Here, Here. Yep, CW is just dead as a doornail, Right Bert?

The fact that morse is in use o ham bands offers no reason
to have a code test in order to begin learning and using the mode.
If a new ham without code knowledge decided to get together
with another ham to mutually learn/use code at veerrrryyy slow
seed (say 1-2 wpm)...would you oppose that?

I'd oppose it happening on the air on HF. That's incorrect and improper
use of
spectrum.

It is? Why, if there's a vacant slot of spectrum to do so? Seems like
there's plenty of spectrum in the "novice" segments now.

Cheers,
