I laugh when you lazy asses whine CW is keeping you from modernizing.

The code requirement isn't stopping anyone from modernizing. Hams don't
want to modernize and won't modernize unless they're forced to
modernize. That's what's stopping the modernization.

How does having a CW requirement prevent you from hooking a computer to
a rig? It don't. You don't want to modernize because you're stupid or
lazy. Just like you don't want to learn CW because you're stupid or
lazy.

LOL! It started a long, long time ago.

When gasoline was 17 Cents a gallon, hams were complainining about how
hard it was to get to the FCC office and wanted a mail-order license.
The conditional was born.

It's been downhill ever since.


I agree with that.

Whether you like or use CW or not, dumbing down as hurt ham radio.
