Re: [TenTec] Re (Ten Tec) (ot) FCC says CW dead?

The re-farming of the HF bands will most likely have specific  "narrow band" 
segments for things like CW and narrow band digital modes.  This sure 
doesn't look like the FCC has any plans to abolish the CW usage, only the 
requirement for obtaining a license.
