[QCWA] 2005 ARRL OPERATING MANUAL

[newsline at ix.netcom.com]

I would not go so far as to call it a precourser of things to come (or to be deleted from Part 97), but if I were a betting man (and I am not) I would almost wager that the next "restructuring" completely does away with mandatory Morse testing.  I would also almost wager that within 5 to 10 yars of this happening that Morse will fall in  interest to about the level of full carrier AM oprations.  That being, it will never really disappear but it wll no longer hold the place of prominence that it did, or even does today.

I'm looking at my 2000 Edition and it's the same, a page or two of
abbreviations, so I wouldn't say it's an earthshaking development.
