All this brief attention to CW is certainly entertaining to those of us who 
have a desire and interest in this unique form of communication. However, for 
John Q, he couldn't care less, and radio services in general, including ham 
radio, are seeking every out they can to be rid of it all. Here is the future. I 
just saw this on the ARRL letter.........

Sweden's telecommunication regulatory agency PTS has taken steps to
deregulate Amateur Radio and essentially no longer requires a government
license. Effective last fall, the PTS turned over Amateur Radio operator
"certification" to the Society of Swedish Radio Amateurs (SSA), that
country's IARU member-society. Under the new regulatory regime, the SSA
administers testing and issues operator certificates and call signs, which
have SA prefixes and three-letter suffixes. There's no longer a Morse code
requirement for HF access.
