I was slightly puzzled why the foundation licence included 136, though I guess 
they
had to do so if they were allowing full access without a full morse test.  CW is
effectively the only mode used on 136, apart from occasional psk and similar 
tests.
You still need to read the morse off your computer screen if you use QRSS...  I
suspect even 5wpm is pretty useless on the band for real QSOs.

The foundation class licence is presumably for those wishing to use ssb and 
rtty/psk
on hf without the morse requirement.  SSB on 136 is out of the question because 
of
the band width (though I know slow voice has been tried...).

I look forward to a QSO with Roy in the future when he gets on the band - 
normal CW
only of course.

My activity on the band is sadly greatly restricted by my local TV qrm at the 
moment.
