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

[Ron Zond]

I beg your pardon. I passed the 20 wpm test on two hours of sleep ( I am
half blind and half deaf to boot). I also do TCC Skeds on CW. What is this
nonsense?

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.
