I just found out that the ITU has dumped the code as a requirement to work HF. Now it's up to the FCC to dump it altoghter. NCI , NCVEC ,& others have petitioned the FCC to do just that. to see/download NCI's petition go to http://www.nocode.org/articles/NCI_Pet_RM.pdf Your comments to the FCC are welcome. Mike KC7KGO
