[CW] Draft position paper on the Morse code requirement

[Andrew Roos]

Hi all,

I have just completed the first draft of a position paper on the Morse code
requirement that will be submitted to the Council of the South African Radio
League. In it I argue that a Morse code requirement should be retained for
the unrestricted amateur license, while allowing that limited HF access may
be given to holders of restricted licenses that do not include a Morse
component. I would be interested in any comments or suggestions.

The paper can be found at http://www.qsl.net/zs1an/morse.htm.

Since this is only a draft, I ask that you do not link to it, quote from or
redistribute it except for the purpose of comment within this email group.
If there is interest then when the paper is finalised I will make it
available for use by all members of the CW community.

Many thanks and 73,
Andrew ZS1AN
