Ghettos. Reminds me of some European social engineering of the 30's.

Good grief, we CAN'T speak like that in here!

The "lower end" of "the bands" MUST be kept open for the
PRIVELEGED CLASS to beep in total comfort. So "it has always
been and so shall it always be..."

indeed the ARRL tried to pander to people Jim with code for extra class

It did give us a bunch of Technicians (General incognito) who couldn't
do 13WPM.

As far as I'm concerned, the "NEED" to do morse code at any
rate was an arbitrary, unneccessary regulation back in the
60s. Ancient morsemen didn't think so and pressured the
government to keep that "vital" necessity (or whatever they
called it before Homeland Security needed morse for "the war
on terror). So the morse code test stayed in.

after the origial reason to know morse was stated as the need for the
govt to be able to warn Ham off their trnasmsittion but even that
"need" was bogus after if the Voice ham could hear the Morse signal and
could not understand it then he could just qsy somewhere else if he did
not hear the morse signal it not matter if he could understand it or
not

We could have done away with Morse Code tsts as early as the first AM
voice set, might have been a bit choatic at first, but it have been
done logicaly have done away when ever there was first voice
