Dan, did you notice that Mario is in Slovenia??? Did you ever
consider that he doesn't give a flying fig about what FCC Part 97.1
says? Or do you think the world of amateur radio revolves around us
(or more precisly, you?).
One simple reason we (American) hams should know CW is that it is a
very popular and _accessible_ mode for foreign hams who may not have
the financial resorces nor even access to more "advanced" modes.
HF frequencies are "world-wide" frequencies...we share them with hams
around the world. And _international goodwill_ IS a purpose listed in
97.1.
The "ugly-American" reputation is something we earn everyday. It
already extends to amateur radio. Why reinforce it by making HF even
more of an exclusive American playground? Forget 97.1. When you are
doing your silly polls about how (un)popular CW is or how obsolete it
is, don't forget to include the rest of the ham world. If furthering
international goodwill was the ONLY argument for keeping the CW test
requirement, it would be enough.
And next time, think twice before demanding that a Slovenian justify
his feelings about CW by citing FCC Part 97.1.

Simmer down, Jay. I'm not advocating that entry level requirements be
changed. I'm trying to figure out a rational way for people with 30
years experience designing commercial radios to get into HF amateur
radio without having to learn 13wpm Morse code. Guys like that certainly
would "smarten-up" amateur radio (vs dumbing-down).
So far the pro-code-testers have not objected to my 5wpm+extra class
written test proposal for obtaining general-class HF phone privileges.
