You're missing the essential point of the no-code people. The folks who
object don't see it as hard, they see it as irrelevant. None of us want
to expend our energy on something we see as useless to ourselves.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Since this *IS* the 21st century, if
we're going to make hams learn something they won't use, let's make it
something from more recent times than CW, like Packet or PSK31. Make a ham
setup and operate a digital station in order to upgrade. Why not? It's as
rediculous as learning CW.

You may disagree on CW's relevance, but hey, we're all grownups - lets
make our own decisions, ok?

WHAT?! You want to keep someone on a newsgroup from expressing my opinions?
Come on!
