I only asked a question (sarcasticaly, sorry) and voiced an opinion. Several people responded with good arguments for getting rid of code in the upper freq's but I haven't seen any good arguments for keeping the requirement, maybe there isn't one. The idea of my learning code isn't the subject, as I've already learned it and then stopped using it. I don't recall the writers name but (s)he used the comparison of learning the bit patterns of ASCII or BAUDOT in order to operate on ham radio. This was well put. uok!mpackard
