That is kind of sad.  Sort of a right of passage for me, although, I stopped
at 13 wpm when I took my Advanced and now that will qualify me for Extra
Class ticket if I want it.  Maybe I should take the written and get it over
with.  Probably a lot of Extra Class ticket holders that are grumbling about
the relaxation of the 20 wpm.  Now this.

Then again, I never really got the code bug, but I enjoy HF (20 meter,
mostly) a lot more than VHF/UHF.

Need to get a large tower to put my HF antenna up since we moved.  We live
in a pretty dense forest and the trees are way tall!
