But note this plain, simple fact: Almost all of the FCC enforcement actions for
"jerk-like" on-air behavior (obscenity, jamming, failure to ID, exceeeding
license privileges, etc., etc.) are against hams using PHONE modes, not
CW/Morse or data modes. ALL of us have taken written tests detailing what we
should and should not do on the air, but it seems like violations are much more
prevalent among the talkers than the brasspounders or keyboarders. Why?

Well, it's certainly clear that if the CW test reduces jerks on CW,
then a talking test would reduce jerks who talk on their radios?

PTTI! Damn, Jim, what a concept!

Or maybe your whole jeremiad about FCC enforcement means that FCC
monitors are no-coders who wouldn't recognize those infractions when
done in Morse.

Or maybe attributing a lower "jerk quotient" to Morse operators is the
lamest excuse EVER for keeping a Morse examination.

Sunuvagun!

With all kind wishes,
