I would like to express my firm support for the ARRL's proposal for the re-structuring of the
Amateur  ServiceLicensing Structure.  IT is time for amateur radio to move into the 21st  century
and stop relying on outmoded operating modalities to define a "good" amateur versus "an
unworthy" one.
Displaying an intimate knowledge of the operating rules, theory of communications technical
issues, and an understanding of the purpose of communications methodologies is much more
 important in my book than whether you can send/receive morse at 5, 13, or 20 words per minute.
I  believe a morse requirement should be maintained, but the dependence on it as a "weeding"
requirement needs to be shelved.  The only place where ARRL and I depart from agreement is
that I believe that their proposal of 12 WPM code should be reduced to 10 WPM as the top
requirement. 
I am in full agreement with their license structure proposal, including the
restructuring of the bandwidth
for priveleges under this new structure.
