Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.


Code should not be a part of the license test anymore than PSK or any
other operating mode.


I think that's one of the problems here. CW isn't just an operating
mode - it's a language, and the test already includes one language, so
testing for knowledge of a language isn't anything new.

There's NEVER been a test of CW operating mode, technique or ability -
just proficiency with the language of International Morse. Since one
must demonstrate proficiency with another language (English) to obtain
a license, it's a matter of degree, not a matter of kind.
