I see that the FCC is not anticipating any changes in the Morse code
licensing requirements before 2006.

Is ther eanyone that has deferred getting a General or above license
because they thought Element one was going to go away soon?

If so, Has it been worth the wait?


Way back when (in 1976) I learned around 7 WPM and
passed a 5WPM code test down at an FCC field office.
And I'm not that good at such tasks. Took about
6 weeks to learn the code to 7WPM. So you can
start today on the code, and probably be able to
pass the code test and have the upgrade or first license
of general or extra grade and get on HF. And you'll
have it 2 months from now instead of a year or more from
now. HF is a lot of fun, and is quite different from
2 meter FM. So, like that sneaker company that paid
the basketball superstar more than their entire payroll
of their Vietnam factory, "Just do it".
