CW does not make you a better radio amateur but it does give some
folk on this newgroup an inflated opinion of themselves. Perhaps that
test and the RAE are only exams they have ever been able to pass? ;-)

The RAE was never an exam. It's not reconsider by any employer as a
qualification. The Morse test merely showed a dedication to the hobby. A
better test enabling access to HF would be an exam testing the ability of
the individual to rectify emc issues etc.
