As a basic, I believe it should be tested. (snip)


The FCC, myself, thousands of other Amateur Operators, and the entire rest

That is the position I will continue to support. And I will
continue to promote code use whether the code testing is
dropped or not.


You can count me in. I strongly support and promote the use of Amateur
Radio in every form. CW is a fine operating mode and should be promoted
right along with the rest of the operating modes available to us.
