Default A sad day? Or, a reprieve for amateur radio?

I found this link:

under a post in rec.radio.amateur.policy and titled "A Sad Day."

Hopefully, it is in time to save amateur radio...

In my city in california, police and state police have always had CB
radios and ham equip in their patrol cars (if they have a ham
license.) Been so for decades!

Quote: 3.Based upon the petitions and comments, we propose to amend
our amateur service rules to eliminate the requirement that individuals
pass a telegraphy examination in order to qualify for any amateur radio
operator license.

It is long long overdue, but welcome nonetheless. I hope that it is in
time to turn around the trends that are so well known.


There are no trends and eleminating the CW requirement will make little
if any difference.

I don't think that the hobby is in trouble. Look at the numbers
today.
They are larger than ever. If it were in trouble it would not be
from
lack of membership.
