Tell us you can do it --- tell us your mangy hound dog can do it, but steer clear of the blanket statements. It isn't easy to one who can't do it. When code goes away, you're going to be the one that tells us the written is too hard. sc |

.com: gravity wrote: i have an idea. get rid of the CW and triple the difficulty of the written test. there is certain element of society, which needs to be kept out of the HF spectrum. How about just requiring a scientific/technical degree from an accredited university? That's kind of funny but you know, I could actually agree to that. An EE degree gets you a licence. You're certainly qualified. :-) SC |

Hopefully the changes will be positive. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** Don't be sad my friend. CW will survive if people find it useful, and especially if the diehards will stop jamming it down people's throats. News flash: People don't like that with CW or anything else! :-) 73, Bill W6WRT 20 wpm extra, licensed 49 yrs |

For example I can label you as a Politically Correct, Warm-n-Fuzzy far leftist and be right on the money. Labels have their place. Bill, W6WRT |

Well, Larry, it took you to the last sentence, but you did actually lurch into the problem. Within seconds after learning what dah-dit-dit-dah means (or dit-dah-dah-dit, for that matter), I fail to accurately recognize them when they are sent again. Hundreds of tries -- all failures, all mine. From your lofty perch, as a successful Morse Code user, you look down on me. You could stand to learn a little humility. It would serve you and the amateur community better than dah-dit-dah any day. |

"Slow Code" wrote in message nk.net... When code goes away, you're going to be the one that tells us the written is too hard. You wish! Of the 55 questions on my Technician License exam, I missed one. ONE! Technically, I'm an above average ham. Through your dirty goggles, however, you see me as some kind of slug because I can't do code. So wrong. Because I already hit the twit filter on you, I won't see any reply you send, so play it up any way you want. |

It would serve you and the amateur community better than dah-dit-dah any day. should we get rid of the written test because people can't learn decibels and basic algebra? perhaps the CW test could have a question pool similar to the written. you could memorize all the answers. i am actually dead serious. or standardize the test so that the output is always like a QSO in super morse. there are ways to make the test easier. hmm, or we could have an option that you can view the CW in a spectrogram and decode it visually.
