With the removal of the test, as time goes on Morse will truely become a 
"code" as there will be fewer and fewer folks who can decipher it. I guess 
it proves that if you whine and cry and stamp your feet enough, you really 
can get your own way. Actually I doubt that it will make much difference for 
a long while. Probably not in what remains of my life time. I am truely 
grateful however, that I was a ham "back when". Don't care who doesn't want 
to hear it. If you started back when ham radio really WAS, a ticket REALLY 
meant something. As the addage goes, something for free is certainly NOT 
worth the same as when you work hard to attain it. I could never see how 
Morse was a "filter" to anything. It was just a requirement. Another hurdle 
to OVERCOME. Not circumvent. Guess my way of thinking has changed over the 
years.....obviously. 73 all..........see you on the lower portions...
