(If you say "the manufacturers" that's
baloney.
I haven't seen a SINGLE comment filed on the current round of petitions by
any manufacturer ...)

Whether or not they're being honest or just spiteful, there's a lot of
hams that accuse the largest ham radio equipment producers of
financing the "beat the morse code" campaign (as they see it)...
the implied reasoning is that the producers & manufacturers stand
to gain more profit if the code testing is dropped and more hams
flood the market and buy thier products. A little too conspiratorial
for me but there's many who buy it.
