The FISTS organization says they have filed a petition regarding the Morse code and various aspects of Amateur Radio license privileges and examinations. The document is posted at http://www.qsl.net/n1ea/FIST_FCC_Petition_8-30-303.pdf It's quite a wide-ranging document. Among other things, they ask the FCC to raise the code requirement for Extra to 12 wpm. I couldn't find anything said about whether or how this would affect existing Extra class licensees who upgraded after 5 wpm became the rule. 73 - Kay N3KN
