IOW, is standing on principle, and refusing to learn Morse code a better
thing than learning it to get the priveliges?


Mike,

Maybe I'm disqualified from answering the question, not being a "Morse
code Hater", but humor me.

I knew Morse code for several years before I was interested in becoming an
Amateur Radio licensee....

....but if I hadn't known it I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have gone to
the trouble to learn it just to get an Amateur Radio license.

Gee.....now I know what MY problem is.....I heard of ham radio. Found out
the requirements to get a license. Studied and passed the requirements.

Thanks for the insight Hans.
