The irony is that some of the most technically-
inclined YOUNG hams I've known have been those who were eager and
willing to respond to the code learning/testing challenge. It just may have
been the one thing that would have motivated more young people to
become hams.

Fun fact:

When the results of the 1996 ARRL/READEX survey were tabulated, one of the
results shown was the support for/opposition to code testing broken down by age
group.

All age groups showed a majority to be procodetest, but the *most* procodetest
group were the youngest! Hams under 24 at the time were 85% procodetest/15%
anticodetest. Almost a 6 to 1 ratio!
