FCC to Drop Morse Code Requirement

Partly it was because of the cost investment but it was also partly because of the Morse code testing requirement. Now, the FCC has decided to drop that requirement. Unfortunately, since I’ve taken up podcasting, I still don’t really have the spare funds for the hobby.
