I still like them.

You are assuming that the volunteer examiners are capable of
evaluating something other than multiple choice.

And how! That is the glaring problem with essay type questions. The

the answers that the student makes. Any less, and you have a big argument.

Since They Know All There Is To Know, there should be NO questions!

Just demonstrate morsemanship skills and everyone is qualified to
operate on HF!

Why, Len, just the other day I heard The Amateur Formerly Known As
(TAFKA) Rev. Jim say that the Morse Code test was a disincentive to
