As I stated in my email yesterday, it is good to see the FCC finally act of WT Docket 05-235.

Joel, I could not agree more with the statement below. The FCC has ruled: CW is Mode and NOT a religion. I for one have had the debate up to my ears for far too long! I will be interesting to see how ham radio goes in the next few years. It is, I am sure, not the end of the world. And yes, it is LONG overdue! I think it's a nice Christmas present.

For me personally, I’m glad we have the Morse issue behind us so we can move forward. The debate has burdened us for far too many years.

p.s. Just so you don’t get the two mixed up, I’m not happy with what the Commission did regarding our 80 meter recon petition. That, however, is another matter to address and deal with.
