Default Elimination of CW is a loss in the number of ways we can communicatewith other.

Dyslexia cannot apply, unless it is dyslexia that affects the
remembered dot/dash pattern of a single character.


Well, Larry, it took you to the last sentence, but you did actually lurch
into the problem.
Within seconds after learning what dah-dit-dit-dah means (or
dit-dah-dah-dit, for that matter), I fail to
accurately recognize them when they are sent again. Hundreds of tries --
all failures, all mine.

From your lofty perch, as a successful Morse Code user, you look down on

me.
You could stand to learn a
little humility. It would serve you and the amateur community better than
dah-dit-dah any day.



should we get rid of the written test because people can't learn decibels
and basic algebra?

perhaps the CW test could have a question pool similar to the written. you
could memorize all the answers. i am actually dead serious. or standardize
the test so that the output is always like a QSO in super morse. there are
ways to make the test easier.

hmm, or we could have an option that you can view the CW in a spectrogram
and decode it visually.
