CW will die a slow death, at least in the US. The no-code license is a dead end. It will be the rare no-coder that takes the time and effort to learn CW and stick with it long enough to become proficient for on the air use (i.e., 25-30 WPM.) As we OFs get older and disappear, nobody will be

Fairly simple reading...the VU7 card has room for 3 qso's and it will be a donation of 1 dollar per returned 3 qso card...the card sent to Joe could have 100 on it or 1...even just the calls , times and dates on a piece of loose leaf would do. Seems they would like individual email addresses too
