Wow...  That sucks. Granted I'm planning on upgrading to Extra, and I
don't plan on going to Europe anytime soon, but that still seems rude.
This is especially so, when many European countries eliminated their
Morse requirement before we did.

It's academic for me, because my license isn't from the
country I'm a citizen of.  I thought it was very surprising
news though.

Apparently, all is not lost. See

It is still possible to obtain permits to operate in nearly any country. I'm
not looking into it more deeply at the moment since I have no plans to operate
abroad. I've looked for a more straightforward explanations of the meaning
of this new CEPT recommendation, but haven't found one. Has anyone else?

I am told by reliable sources that I don't qualify for those
because I'm not a U.S. citizen.  I have a VE waiting for me
when I get to Canada (I hope to sit their Basic exam), but I
need a new passport first.

Nine years later and I'm still waiting to get to Canada!
