One more little bit of rambling on the subject, then I'll go away.
I personally do use CW when I operate (not exclusively, but competitive with
my phone usage).  I do it for reasons varying between the fun of it and the
fact that I got New York from Washington State with a 10 watt transmitter (on
phone, it would have been significantly more difficult (NOT impossible)).

If you want a way of using radio without knowing code, why must it be an "Amateur
Radio License"?  Why not a separate radio class for computer/digital packet
phreaques?  It seems that that might be the better thing to do (geez, some of the
new bands could even be shared with UHF ham bands--it certainly won't be a totally
new occurance).

Blah, blah, blah...
