What about the people locked out by CW requirements who wanted to

dropout in my hearing that made it impossible to listen to CW for more
than a few minutes at a time. I would end up with headaches, some that
lasted for days. I finally threw in the towel and went into other areas
of electronics. I wanted to learn microwave communications. Along the
way I worked in Broadcast and Two way radio servicing.

i hear you on the headaches I remmebr them from my teen aged efforts at
Morse

"efforts"...?!?!

"efforts" suggests that you did something that actually required,
well, EFFORT! We all know that was wasted bandwidth!

amusing I listen I can lsiten to morse all day without a problem as
long I don't try to break it down at all then a headache sets in a in
matter of seconds and slowly grows as I try to process the signal

The PROBLEM, Morkie, is that the guys sending the Morse are doing
it in ENGLISH, and you're trying to "hear" it in Morkiese. The two
don't exchange well.

I can in fat qso in the mode using pc with a spectrographic display to
allow me to look at the parts of the signal I can't read with the pc

What's a "fat qso", Mork..?!?

And using a "...spectrographic display to allow (you) to look at
the parts of the signal (you) can't read with the pc...?!?!

More Morkie Mularkie.
