The Japanese Ministry of Post and Telecommunications announced a
reduction of Morse Code test requirements on May 24th, 2005.

Interesting that they chose not to eliminate it entirely given the change in
treaty requirements.

Yes, Dee, *very* interesting!

Any info on their rationale?

None so far.

Just jump on the low end of 20 and find out. Remember, CW
communications transcends all language barriers.

But it's noteworthy that it took them so long to make the
change, and it won't be effective form several months yet.

There's always the bright side, right?

The number of JA amateur station licenses has been steadily declining
for about 10 years, even with their nocodetest 4th class HF license. It
will be interesting to see what happens to the number of JA hams with
these changes.

May you live in interesting times.
