Should it be removed as a requirement? Possibly, but if so it should be
replaced with much stiffer technical examinations, including an above
average user levl computer component, than what currently exsists.

This has come up frequently in conversations I've had with long-time hams.
While I don't disagree with you in principle, there is no way the FCC is
going to toughen up the exams.

The promise made when the original no-code proposal was new was that there
would be a MUCH more difficult technical exam. When they actually pushed
no-code through, they added five measly questions from the same lame
question pool already used for Technician licenses.
