You know, there is no requirement to kil code from the airways. Some people are
talking like this is the end of things. NOTHING says there won't be any more
code, it is just relegated to the other obsolete and dusty vestages of the
amateur radio world. I know there are a lot of folks that enjoy code operation.
To them, I say - have a great time with it! It is yours to use and enjoy. There
are dozens of other operating modes that are in greater use and are more
relevant to today's amateur radio licensee. Why saddle people with learning an
obsolete operating mechanism? The FCC acted properly this time. The dooms day
sayers are in full foce - but without any facts to back them up.
It's time to move the art and science forward - not backward.
