I'm glad your laughing, because I certainly am!

Don't worry Steve, we're laughing at you, not with you.

That's OK.

Meanwhile, I'm laughing at YOU because you apparently are unable or unwilling to
pass a simple test. But hey, you can wait a while longer and perhaps they'll be
giving that ticket away with the Cracker-Jack.

Best of luck.


Hey DxAce..how does it feel to have worked so hard to pass a test that
means absolutely nothing today.


Really? I passed the test, that certainly means something. And who ever said that I
worked hard? YMMV


It means nothing today...nada...zilch...no value.


Morse code has no use because nobody
is listening.


Nobody? Just who are all those folks working?


The audience for morse code is inconsequential...just a few other hams.
The world at large including hams in other countries has abandoned
morse code in favor of faster more reliable modes of communicating.



You can count yourself as the proud owner of a
certificate that proves you can mimic the operation of a very slow data
modem.


It's not really a 'certificate'.


Sure it is, but if it makes you feel better to be known as "licensed"
to send messages at a snails pace then go for it.


You can send and transcribe text at a rate that would put most
readers to sleep.


Yep, I passed the test.


Well, you can count yourself as being successful at some level I
suppose. As long as you ignore the fact that there is no worldly need
to communicate at such a slow rate, then yes I suppose you are
successful.

You?
