That's
a plain and simple fact.

What is it about plain and simple facts that so confuses NCI members?

Duh!!!

We know you are confused, Brian.

"Duh!!!" doens't indicate a lack of confusion

My point exactly.

Yet you said it did.

We know you are confused, Brian.

We? You got a mouse in your pocket?

Why does it have to be "particularly for HF/MF operations?"

Because that's where Morse operation by amateurs is most common.

If a lack of Morse code skills renders one less than a fully qualified
amateur radio operator,

It does. Get over it.

Can't. I've had Morse whether I liked it or not.

So does lack of a lot of other skills.

What skills do you lack?

I would think "praticularly for VHF+
operation" would have been more appropriate for the very reason you
gave.

That makes no sense at all.

Since everyone presently on HF had to go thru the Morse hoop, and
those on VHF+ didn't necessarily have to do it...

We know you are confused, Brian.

Too bad things must be explained to you in the minutest of detail.

Duh!!! again.

Exactly. You keep proving my point for me. Thanks.

So what do you lack to be a fully qualified radio amateur,
particularly for HF/MF amateur operation?
