No, but my experience has been that publication generally requires 
about 2 weeks, +/- a bit.

As someone who teaches a Morse class and sees folks who _really_ have
extreme difficulty learning Morse (mostly due to hearing problems,
various forms of dyslexia, and to auditory processing problems in the
speech-and-hearing centers), and who works almost exclusively CW, I
really do see both sides of the argument.

I wish the FCC had kept Morse as that little "Extra" in "Amateur Extra
Class".
