Hi Fred ET all; A number of years ago ham friend, knowing the Code Requirement was doomed, said the following:
There will come a time when drug traffickers and other bad guys will be able to openly communicate in CW without the scrutiny of any police agency. They won't be able to find then if the transmissions are short and there won't be anyone around who can copy CW. And, if you think that CW reading computer software is the solution.. try your software out on some OT using a bug with a "banana boat swing" (I don't think this would apply to the abc agencies). But who knows these days. I'll let one of you OT bug users explain the banana boat swing..

Frankly I don't think the FCC is all that technical an agency any longer.
