"Steve Silverwood" wrote in message ... In article , says... ...is simply this: Know code = Know ham No code = No ham The eternal truth, proven every day. I have a feeling that this issue about the code will never be resolved, at least not while the "old guard" of CW loyalists are still around. The issue has been resolved internationally in July of this year. There is NO code requirement necessary anymore to stay compliant with international treaty agreements. Since July '03, a number of countries, including Great Britain, Netherlands, Belgium and others have already ended or announced an end date for morse testing in their contry's requirments. At some point the FCC will drop all code testing also. The direction is clear, the path has been taken, there's no turning back. The FCC provided every opportunity to pro-code advocates to argue their case and the pro-coders failed to convince the FCC as to there being any need (other than the ITU treaty at the time) for code testing at all. The only thing at issue will be how soon? Cheers, Bill K2UNK |
