But can you accurately say that *no one* wants to end Morse use?

Can you name one?

Sure! Remember Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ, whose spelling was even worse than Bruce's?

Search the entire population of licensed hams and
I'm sure there's some here and there that would take that stance

And that's my point when someone says "*no one* wants to end Morse *use*."

...BUT,
that is not the position (just in case someone tries to suggest
otherwise) of NCI. We (NCI) oppose code testing. We (NCI) have no
problem with code USE.

That's been made clear.

But the name of the organization doesn't include "test" so there could be some
confusion.

Until, (UNTIL, *until*) it is clearly understood that seeking the end of
the
CW test is not the equivalent of seeking the end of CW as a mode, this
debate will never fall within the realm of "friendly" debate at all. I
think it's even hazardous to use the PCTA/NCTA labels.

One of the problems is that some folks aren't clear that it is only the
*test*
they are against.

Another problem is that some (many?) that favor code testing suggest that
by ending that testing it will lead to an end to code use. I don't
belive that at all and there are hundreds of examples of older
technology and skills that are still practiced today in other
fields even though such technology/skill is recognized as
no longer generally used/needed (e.g. archery, manual transmission
autos, etc.)

We don't know what will happen without a test.
