  Yes the restructure made code a requirement for

 the tech is expanded.  If I can pony up at least 5wpm I plan to go for the 
 general, if not the tech as I can pass the technical elements in my sleep
 and the rules aren't all that bad. 
I'm personally looking forward to the new rules - I got a "know code" 
technician in 1992 and plan to bump myself up to at least general since
I already have the 5 wpm.  I'd been wanting to get a ticket for a while,
my father was one in the '50s, but he let his lapse.  The final straw
was the depletion of the "N8" call sign - I got N8TVD, as I said earlier.
My younger brother got N8YKN.  AFAIK, techs around here get "KC8" calls now.
