So what? It hasn't been legal to operate a spark transmitter for a
couple generations. You don't even have to be a ham to build, just pick
up some of the early books and follow the instructions. The receivers
of that era would be useless in today's congested RF spectrum, as well.

On the other hand if you can design and build a state of the art
communications system without outside help, that is something to brag
about.


Hell, I'd be happy if a significant percentage of the late vintage
extras, who have "proved their worth" at 20 WPM, could operate worth a
damn. I know techs who have better manners and know more about traffic
handling.

Note that I said "late vintage".
