Basically, it comes down to the fact that Len thinks he's too good to
have to learn Morse Code - or anything else - for an amateur radio
license.

And that's a plain, simple fact.

Did you know that both Tech classes together constitute almost
HALF of all U.S. amateur radio license grants? True!

Yes, it is!

But let's look at the trend:

On May 14, 2000, those two license classes constituted 49.5% of current
unexpired US amateur radio licenses held by individuals.

On November 15, 2005, those two license classes constituted 48.0% of
current unexpired US amateur radio licenses held by individuals.

The percentage of licenses, as well as the total number of licenses,
held by the combined group of Technicians and Technician Pluses has
dropped considerably in the past 5-1/2 years.

OTOH:

On May 14, 2000, General class licenses constituted 16.7% of current
unexpired US amateur radio licenses held by individuals.

On November 15, 2005, General class licenses constituted 20.4% of
current unexpired US amateur radio licenses held by individuals.

On May 14, 2000, Extra class licenses constituted 11.7% of current
unexpired US amateur radio licenses held by individuals.

On November 15, 2005, Extra class licenses constituted 16.2% of current
unexpired US amateur radio licenses held by individuals.

Sorry, lil Davie, but there was a "comment march" on Washington.
3,786 filings worth on WT Docket 05-235.

And the majority supported at least some code testing.

Tsk, tsk, there are so many NEW things coming up, things
that weren't here before, that there's PLENTY of new
stuff to explore, to experiment with, to fool around with.

And you're not part of them, Len.
