Hi all, I have been reading this thread for a long time and thought I would
make a few comments.  I think that people who are taking examinations for
amateur radio should have the option of taking the Morse Code test if they
choose to use that mode of communication.  There are a lot of operators out
there who like using CW and they should be able to have contact with new
amateurs.  One thing I was wondering:
What's going to happen to the HF bands now that the CW test is not required?
Does that mean that the bands will be overcrowded with voice communications?
Thanks again.

Eric
