text. The plan would bar the use of multiple choice tests for Morse code testing.
   Morse examinations would specify use of the Farnsworth method, where characters are sent faster than the overall speed and additional spaces added between characters, words and sentences. Farnsworth "character speed" would be in the range of 13 to 15 WPM at an audio pitch of between 700 and 1000 Hz. Standard 5 WPM tests with 5 WPM character speed could be administered only as a special accommodation.
   The new Morse testing standards are to be in effect by next July 1, but VECs may implement them sooner.

Your Editor had to make some last minute changes, that had been forgotten concerning the 10 Meter Net, specifically an article from Mark, N5XXD, and Sara, N5ZMP. We are sorry to see the net gone, but it is understandable with little participating. See page 5 for article. (Space is filled. Ha Ha)

"Thank You" to Bill
Bentley, N5POB


A big thanks to Bill. He finished "The Shamrock" when I had to be admitted to the hospital before I could finish last month's newsletter.

I truly appreicate it, Bill.

Dewey, WB5CDD
