No, it's like learning the basics of cycling before being allowed to
participate in the race.

Did your Dad & Mom make you take a test before they bought you your first
bike?

Nope, only before I actually used it. It involved training wheels, lots of
patience, and constant evaluation...even more so when I "earned the
privilege" of being allowed to ride in the street. Good analogy, Hans.
Thanks.

But actually, Morse code is a bit like learning to ride a bike.... it's
sort of "self testing"..... if you want to use it, you'll learn how.

I hope the "once you learn it, you never forget it" axiom holds true.

Is this referring to the 5-wpm test? I don't think so. "Murderous
resentment?" ggg
