I never considered the CW requirements an "incentive." The greatest single
incentive is expanded band privileges, which makes perfect sense to me.

I don't think they should get rid of the requirement.
Otherwise, what's the insentive to work harder to get the general or extra
class licenses?

Well, that is really good. I still hear a lot of CW out there. I think
that there was actually a time where you had to have 20 words as a
requirement. What do the rest of you think of the FCC doing away with a
code requirement? I think that if they do that, they should have more
technical questions added to the theory.
