Because, as far as the "engineer" is concerned, it (code) isn't a "basic
radio communications skill" today, Dick. It hasn't been for several decades,
at least. As far as I know, not a single college-based communications,
radio, electronics, or engineering, course today offers instruction in code
"skill." Likewise, few, if any, employers are seeking that "skill."
Therefore, it (code) simply isn't relevant to any of these careers.
