Hello Steve,

Easy my friend. International regulations require access to shorwave
only if you have passed a morse exam. At this stage speed is not an
issue so 5 wpm will fulfill the requirement.

The next WRC is 2003 and it will have the authority to change that rule.
No local regulatory body can scrap that requirement.
