Does it make me a better ham haveing passed code?

Of course, your question is rhetorical and nobody knows if you are a good
amateur, or a bad one, or what it might take to make you a better one.. Your
might be a 75m late night quarmer or you might have provided significant
radio communications for rescuers during the San Farncisco earthquake. Who
knows?

Passing the code test used to simply increase one's qualifications; it
obviously did not in itself make one a better practitioner of the service.
Now ,of course, passing code has no meaning at all; it is similar to Cecil
Moore having passed the mensa test.

Did passing mensa make Cecil a better engineer?
