Default If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

An amateur radio license is an entry level license.


There are a few classes - ONE class is entry level.

It is not a university degree. When I obtained all amateur privileges
at the age of 15, I didn't know squat.


"When I robbed a man at the age of 15, I wasn't arrested." Does that
make robbery legal? Your experience is only that - your experience,
it's not definitive.

All I had done is memorize
the ARRL License Manual. Six years later I had a EE degree. What
is wrong with learning the technical stuff after one obtains his
entry level license?


Nothing, if you don't care that the license means nothing more than
that you have it.
