      Eric...               EH@> I don't understand why someone would be against the no-code test. I was        EH@> a no code tech, and then I passed my General, but could not get passed        EH@> the code part, so I stayed a no-code tech until the requirement for the        EH@> code was dropped. I re-tested and passed (again), and now I am studying        EH@> for my Extra class. Would you rather let the hobby languish and        EH@> disappear than be invigorated with new hams? besides, most new hams I        EH@> have heard on the air, are much more appreciative of the privileges        EH@> that the so called 'original' hams.               People are learning the Morse Code now because they WANT to...NOT because       they HAVE to. I understand in the weeks surrounding the removal of the CW       requirement for U.S. Ham Radio Licenses, Vibroplex couldn't keep up with the       demand for CW keyers.              Daryl, WX1DER                     ...
