[TenTec] [DX-NEWS] FCC Proposes to Drop Morse Code Requirementfor All License Classes

[Bill Rowlett]

The difference is the testing. CB does not require any type of test, we do. 
Now, it may not be as tough as some would like, but I bet most who complain 
that it is too easy would not be able to pass it now. Just as most of the 
Extra's who took 20 WPM test and complain about the Extra Lites could not 
pass even 5 WPM now.
