I'll just remind everyone:

The Rule changes do NOT go into effect until 30 days AFTER they are published in the Federal Register - figure that will be sometime between now and the first week of January - so these changes will occur sometime Late January or Febuary

I still think it's usefull to KNOW the code (I do- but I'm only a 5wpm extra), and it's interesting, but I don't think it should be required.

That said, I'd LIKE to see the Tech test get HARDER - with more "This is proper operating procedure" questions, and the eliminated "techinical" questions moved up into the general pool
