Right on. The mandatory CW test is water under the bridge. Good
operators such as the ones Jim mentioned are learning and using CW on their
own,
because it's fun to use and effective for contesting and DXing. About 90% of
my operating is CW.

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.
