You're not a real ham if you never took or passed a Code test.

Ya, and you're not a 'real' bowler either unless you have a $500 bowling
ball.
And you're not a 'real' fisherman until you've caught a Marlin off the
coast of Mexico either.
It's only a hobby. If you don't like it, pick another one!
It's not just a hobby, read part 97 again. If you wanted just a hobby you
should've stuck to CB and Stamp collecting.
Help save Ham radio and ignore Mark to save
usenet:
1- No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and pass all
elements required for their license class every ten years.
2- The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.
3- Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.
4- Make the no-code license one year non-renewable.
5- Cancel your ARRL membership until they decide to work to improve
things and stop them from proposing ham radio that is like CB.
