I just noticed on QRZ.Com that there is an article dated May 18, 2006 entitled, “FCC Won’t Say Publicly When It Will Act On Morse Code Issue.” Here’s an excerpt:
“They should probably start learning code,” one staffer advised those waiting for the FCC to drop the Morse requirement before upgrading, noting that a Certificate of Successful Completion of Exam (CSCE) for a written exam element is only good for a year. Even after the FCC goes public with its decision on Morse code, still more time is likely to pass before any new rules go into effect, the staff member pointed out.
So, folks, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen this year, for sure.
