Morse Code testing requirement for amateur radio

[muon2]

I used to hold a 3rd Class (now Technician) License as Chief Engineer of my college radio station. The Morse requirement is generally obsolete, but I would continue a phased approach to removing the requirement. The best next step is to eliminate it from the General License, leaving it only for the Extra License.

The 1/3 of Republicans who thought that the Morse Code testing requirement should be dropped must have been the socially liberal ones like Bullmoose and WalterMitty.  The 1/3 of Democrats who thought that the Morse Code testing requirement should be retained must have been the socially conservative ones like Ebowed (before the switch to a Utah Republican).

Of course, I'll probably now get a response from a socially conservative Republican who agrees with me or a socially liberal Democrat who disagrees with me on the issue.

How does the phase-out approach fit into your analysis? It wasn't a choice in the poll.
