What I think happened is this: Len discovered that unlike "book

Morse
Code would not help Len 'PROFESSIONALLY' - there was no money
reward waiting. So he gave up.

I agree.

Basically, it comes down to the fact that Len thinks he's too good to
have to learn Morse Code - or anything else - for an amateur radio
license.

I still believe that Lennie had some "run-in" with an Amateur at
some point. No doubt Lennie tried to bluff the other Amatuer into
"signing off" on a Conditional or other such thing since he already
professed to "know it all".

His one and only attempt to get a license by deceit rebuffed, he's
set upon a mission to undermine Amateur Radio at any and all
opportunities. To hell with the mere mortals, HE was a PROFESSIONAL!
