More restructuring has taken place in Europe. The GB2RS reports that Finland has now officially dropped the Morse code requirement for that nations hams to have access to the High Frequency bands. GB2RS says that Finland actually deleted the Morse requirement on the 1st of November of 2003. Now, with the latest rules revisions there are now there are only two classes of amateur license in that European nation.
Also from GB2RS word that former French Class 2 licensees with F1 and F4 callsign prefixes are now being heard on the High Frequency bands. According to the French national amateur radio society, this change was implemented on May 16th.
But C-W is far from dying or dead on the other side of the Atlantic. In fact the fourth European High Speed Telegraphy Championships take place the 15th through the 19th of September in Montenegro and Serbia.
