Yes, and "dumbing down" on just plain courtesies in oral communication, by greediness, is prevalent in USA...back in the woodwork...

Gentlemen,
All CW tests were eliminated in the US in 2007. There is no Morse Code (CW) requirement any more.
Of course there's a possibility to learn Morse code which can be learned during a single week but reality says most choose not to do CW any more. What a pity!
Please do everyone everything to bring back telegraphers who would use less bandwidth on satellites then SSB!
To eliminate CW int he exams was a big mistake and the outcome can be heard on VO-52 when SSB operators simply can not recognise Morse code.
May I ask all those who has never heard morse signals to tunu a bit down or higher in case he/she hears unidendified signals int he satellite bands?!
VO-52 is overcrowded which shows the interest in satellite operations.
I do hope AMSAT-DL will pass along P3E -which is said to be ready to start for many years- to start from India!
Anyway, there are fortunately satellite ops in Russia who use CW and do not keep shouting on the back of CW stations!
