(Personal thoughts)
1. I know the FCC made changes in the morse testing but I wasn't one in favor of this, and I know I am a minority in this.I think its a good mode and should have been kept. I support the code and hope many do also. I feel the FCC should have kept the Code in place and at 5 wpm.
2. I believe in Elmers in Ham radio and that its the duty of all new and old Hams to teach our Radio and our modes to others, no matter whether its Code or Digital or even the Radio Theory, unfortunately this has caused the demise of 1 great radio mode that was loved by many around the world. I feel that if a person is willing to listen to the old timers, this hobby or service will survive another 30 years or more,unfortunately there are many who claimed that programs like Morse code was too hard to learn.These's might have gone it alone . That this was keeping them behind. I felt that if they had someone show them how to learn the modes like I did. It not impossible. I had my first chance of Viewing PSK31 and it was a local Ham in San Diego who took the time to show us in the club to learn it. I still feel the WRC and the FCC made a mistake. I love the radio hobby and it is 24/7 to me.
3. Do not slam Hams of modern and past who worked hard to get the CW Tests, as it was required at the time, to slam a Ham is not good sportsmanship. Its shows poor taste and unprofessionalism. We who did pass it had no choice either use it or loose the airwaves forever. There are some who feel we were holding progress but I dont believe that at all.
If you wish you can call me email me and I will email back. If you do call leave a message or text me, my number changes at times and I will post the new one soon.
Thanks. I am also on Twitter and Facebook.

This is a fun Hobby friendship can be gainned through this in such ways as you might never imagine.
No matter what land you live on this is one big planet and radio crosses boundaries more than any other hobby. Someone once wrote they could do the same thing with a cellphone, how many countries can you call in 1 hour and not be billed for it. I think its one that is fun and worth the time and effort to operate.
Salamat po and happy dxing and happy hunting on the airwaves...
Thanks and 73
