[TenTec] No [mandatory] CW

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

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.
