FCC is debating no code. However, I wonder why? The
demise of HF hams would free up spectrum for other uses.
Nowadays, all spectrum is valuable.


No it's not. Noone wants HF any more. Ships are going to satphones, which
work much better. Listen around to any HF SSB marine radio. Hear much?
Nope....dead....not much left but the fishermen who can't afford satphones.

The HF broadcasters are going to the internet like BBC has. Lots of HF
broadcasts are no longer, their transmitters now disassembled. HF is a
dead issue in broadcasting.

I predict several NEW ham bands in the near future on some prime HF
frequencies noone wants.

Noone is saying you cannot use CW/Morse on any band. What the world
organizations are saying is it is no longer to their advantage to require
you learn Morse Code so you can be drafted into their army radio operators
in the next military idiocy used for population control across the planet.
When the militaries of the world stopped using CW/Morse, there was no
longer a requirement for ham radio to train operators.
