FCC eliminates Morse Code requirement for amateur radio licenses!

Six years ago they reduced the code requirement to 5 words per minute and streamlined the number of license classes down to three. On Friday, they eliminated the code requirement entirely. The cool thing about this is it automatically grants me high-frequency privileges to do voice on world bands.

That's neat. I can see that coming in handy here and there, if you really need it. I've seen others who like to try and fit radios into ham tins. I think at least some of them succeed.
