[Elecraft] Dropping the Code Test

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

There was a time when getting an extra class license in the USA required
first having years of experience as an Amateur Radio licensee, then passing
tests significantly harder than the those for the other exams, both theory
and code. 

The "Extra" was something one expected only those who had done a lot of
self-study and work, or someone who had a good technical school education
would try for.

Times change...
