Hi Roy,

RW> I belong to a (world-wide) group that advocates the relaxing and eventual
RW> end to the morse code requirements.

I hope that that this does not extend to relaxing and an eventual end
to the theory requirments!!

RW> In fact, CW is
RW> dead throughout the entire world, except for the die-hards in Amateur
RW> Radio.

Not really, it is still in use with navigational beacons, and as ID
on most satellite transponders.

The use of code is increasing rapidly to communicate with physically
handicapped people.  Many hospitals are teaching code to these patients.

RW>  SP> What is the full name of the conference?
RW>
RW> Which reminds me, I have to update the echo rules. I had to kill that echo
RW> due to a lack of traffic.

It has been getting that way with the HAM sig's too!!
