Well, there are SEVEN petitions for rulemaking posted by the
FCC for retention of code testing...in addition to the seven posted
for the elimination of code testing.

In the first group, there is only five petitions that request deletion
of all code exams. The Beauregard petition, RM-10781, retains
the 5 wpm code exam for both General and Extra. The Reich,
RM-10784, retains it for Extra.


Those for code test retention are RM-10805 through RM-10811
inclusive. The most glaring of the "stuck-in-the-past emotional
attachment to old ways" is Napurano's RM-10806. A classic,
almost, in the gratuitous glorification of morse beyond reasonable
bounds of the state of the art of radio of 30 years ago. It exceeds
morse glorification of FISTS' RM-10811 document. :-)

Roux' petition of RM-10810 is split on code test necessity, only
extras having code tests.

I've already filed Comments on all 14. The others in here seem
content with just jawing and hollering among themselves... :-)

Excellent comments. Thanks for taking the time to file.
