Default CW testing is history.
As of 0001 hours this morning, CW testing is no longer needed to obtain a General class or higher license for amateur radio.

What does this mean?
It means that you do not have to know morse code to take the exams now.

I won't bring the code/no code debate from QRZ to here, or share my personal feelings... however....

I look forward to hearing all you new Generals on HF this summer!
