No, it's not like CB because you can run a 1KW signal (hi hi). Maybe they'll
keep the 5 wpm code requirement for Extra Class? Or, maybe this is their
response to the ARRL bandwidth proposals which actually writes "CW" out of part
97 and replaces it with some narrow bandwidth requirement. Sometimes people
call this effect the "law of unintended consequences". My experience suggests
perhaps that we have people around who seem to believe that they have a better
idea of how things are to be done. I haven't seen any meaningful tradeoff for
either of these so far.
