The Morse code exam is a test of the ability to memorize.
No knowledge of electronics required.


Rules and regulations are just an exercise in memorization also. They
require no knowledge of electronics either.

The CW text requirement is like the requirement for a foreign language
requirement for some college degrees, it rounds out the amateur skills.
