One more thing: Resolve to learn the Morse code and to use it on the air.
Decide from the start that you are going to be a proficient CW operator, and
don't give in to any of the frustrations normally associated with learning to
use this uniquely practical, effective, efficient, and universal
communications mode.

Absolutely! Morse code is at the heart and soul of U.S. amateur
radio!

Morse is so #$%^!!! good that every other radio service continues
to use it for communications! [Larry thinks...without having any
experience in any of them]

Without proficiency in morse code, amateurs are not really
amateurs.

Those who cannot do morse code or care to do morse code are
not recipients of Larrah's Blessings.

We have all experienced them, and people from all walks of life have
overcome them and become proficient CW operators.

Vital, important, mandatory for amateur radio.

Forget everything else and concentrate solely on morse code.

That is all that is needed to be a "good" amateur.

It's not that big a deal,
and the only problems you'll have achieving success are those you make
for yourself.

Yes, failure to become proficient in morse code will result
in a continuing repost of Larrah's skills, nobility, and
accomplishments in the field of radio communications...
resulting in endless peans of self-praise for his unswerving
loyalty to the Beliefs of Hiram.

See the hoops. Jump through the hoops, Larrah. That's a good boy!

Sit.
