Many other countries ceased code testing right after the ITU dropped the requirement and I don't recall seeing much of a reaction. As an OF of 66 years (licensed for 52 of them), I don't look at this as the end of the world at all (nor do I fear the "regulation by bandwidth" proposal). CW isn't going away. At least it will no longer be looked at as a hindrance to potential hams. 73, Bob, N7XY (20wpm Extra) -- Bob Nielsen, N7XY Bainbridge Island, WA _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
