There is a difference between "no code" and "know code".
As to the operators, potentially no difference. Although I've come across
some 20 WPM Extra's that are more of a "lid" operator than some of the "no
code" Extras. I view it is the person that makes the difference, not the
code requirement.

Just goes to show that not having a mandatory code test doesn't mean
people won't choose to learn & use CW.

Over here, many of our no-code amateurs now work code and in

That's also true here in Silicon Valley, where young Turks N6ML,N6NUL,
and N6WM are no-code Extras with great CW chops and first rate
contesters. These guys are smart computer engineers, and none are older
than 40.
