Code makes a person more experienced? If that is true, then a person who
passed a code test yesterday is more experienced than a person who got his
license ten years ago without knowing code, and more experienced than all
those in the other radio services where code is not used. More rounded in
what? Emergency communications? Moonbounce? Satellites? And if a person with
code was truly more able to provide communications under adverse conditions,
all radio services would still be relying on code. They aren't. In the end,
these are all code myths.
