I suppose it's bound to happen but I'm not crazy about it, and I don't even
use CW. It's just proposed, it's not official yet. Could be a long time.

hi,
I've just received this from the handiham text - list.=20
The FCC has proposed to eliminate the Morse Code requirement in the =
Amateur
Radio Service in a new Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Other =
restructuring
would not be addressed in this proposal.
The proceeding reference is WT Docket 05-235.
"Based upon the petitions and comments, we propose to amend our amateur
service rules to eliminate the requirement that individuals pass a
telegraphy examination in order to qualify for any amateur radio =
operator
license. We believe that this proposal, if adopted, would:
(1) encourage individuals who are interested in communications =
technology,
or who are able to contribute to the advancement of the radio art, to =
become
amateur radio operators;
(2) eliminate a requirement that we believe is now unnecessary and that =
may
discourage amateur service licensees from advancing their skills in the
communications and technical phases of amateur radio; and
(3) promote more efficient use of the radio spectrum currently allocated =
to
the amateur radio service. We solicit comments on our tentative =
conclusions.
We decline to propose any other changes to amateur radio service =
licensing
or operating privileges in this proceeding." (FCC)
