SNIPPED
Poor Markie, so bitter that kids can pass morse code tests and he is too stupid to pass one. NO! Don't label another person! It is wrong to label! Particularly when you do not know any of his/her life's circumstances. I said some people have difficulty learning or learning one particular subject. It is reported that Albert Einstein had difficulty learning Calculus. The man was a Physics genius but needed help with advanced math. I hold a degree in engineering and have completed four years of seminary, but I have not been able to learn conversational SPANISH. [About two years after ordination the Cardinal requested that I learn Spanish at the seminary . After two months the instructor approved my withdrawal from the class. I could learn vocabulary, how to read, write and the grammar for spanish, but my ear does not hear spanish. Total immersion in a Spanish speaking community would be the way for me to learn.] I still say, anyone who can learn an/the alphabet can learn Morse Code. For those with difficulty, the solution to the issue is teaching METHODs not the student's difficulty. Any alphabet is recognizing sound patterns. Words are simply combinations of sound patterns. For 'an_old_friend' I would begin by teaching an alphabet of SOUND PATTERNS. No requirement for speed. Just focus on sound patterns. Keep it very simple. Each two hour lesson would focus on no more than 7 letters until well heard. Then move to SOUND PATTERNS that are close to or similar to those [s]he has learned and is mastering. [Example: learn the sound patterns for 'A', 'W', and 'J' repeat until they are instantly recognized. Then move on to 'N' 'D', 'B', etc. Don't count 'dots' or 'dashes' but hear sound patterns.] The next two hour session, one week later, would begin with a review then add 'T, M, O' followed by 'E, I, S, H'. Drill sound patterns. Then end the session by sending simple words using the 1/2 of the alphabet that has been studied. Speed is NOT a requirement! Accuracy is! If Farnsworth timing at 18 wpm is a roadblock, then change practice timing to 13 wpm or 10 wpm or 7 1/2 wpm or 5 wpm or 3 wpm. SPEED is NOT a REQUIREMENT! Accuracy is! The next two weeks complete the alphabet. Week five would include the numbers and common punctuation. [5 sound character patterns and 6 sound character patterns]. Having said all this, my defense of CW is not any legal requirement. It is simply the best way to work rare DX. Much less power required. Much less bandwidth required. Much more discernible [copyable] in a pile. And, it is fun! /s/ DD, W1MCE |

It is reported that Albert Einstein had difficulty learning Calculus. The
man was a Physics genius but needed help with advanced math. it was differential geometry that Einstein was unfamiliar with. when formulating relativity, he realized that he needed tools that he was not familiar with. so he went to a mathematician friend and learned which tools he needed. please understand this in the context of 1912. differential geometry was fairly new back then, i believe it came from Riemann. it's possible for some branches of math and physics to be relatively arcane. for instance, de Borges attempted proofs use operator theory. most mathematics students cannot read his papers. in fact, most professional mathematicians can't read them either. the only reason that de Borges proof of Bieberbach became accepted is that it was rewritten by other Europeans. it's not uncommon for a theoretical physicist to have to learn a new branch of math to solve a problem. for instance, string theorists working on the landscape turned to statistics.

It is reported that Albert Einstein had difficulty learning Calculus. The
man was a Physics genius but needed help with advanced math. relativity utilizes tensor calculus, which is a few semesters beyond the basic integral calculus taught to many college students. even today, relativity is viewed as fairly knotty. general relativity really isn't tackled until graduate school. it's my understanding that Einstein was very good at math. to be a lowly patent clerk and revolutionize physics requires real skill. what is advanced math? multivariable calculus and ordinary differential equations are viewed as advanced by the general population, however millions of people have learned the basics of these. in contrast, there are papers in number theory that can only be a read by a dozen people on the planet. it's partially due to our own limitations as humans.

Hi there.
Just a quick thought. I will not jump into the code vs. no-code fray. That said, I'd like to pass on an experience I had with a college professor friend of mine many years ago, now passed (Doc Bronfield WA2SMW). I learned CW at the age of 9 using flashing light. Now age 57. Got my novice at age 14 and general at age 15. The extra came easy as did 30 wpm plus CW. Not so with my friend Doc. He tried and tried, and then we realized that he had aural dyslexia. So I had an idea. With the help of local engineering types. They built a keyer that could sent different frequencies slightly for the dits and dahs. That was what he needed to get his code speed up and pass the general using the keyer during a FCC test. Here's what I believe should happen with CW. When I passed my extra there were no extra class operating privileges issued, but the FCC issued a nice Extra class certificate for the accomplishment (which I still have). I suggest we leave the 5 wpm code requirement in place as it now is, but go back to issuing the 20 wpm certificate by VE's. That would, perhaps, satisfy, the pro-code folk? It would reward the accomplishment without necessarily making it an Extra class requirement. Jozef Hand-Boniakowski WB2MIC "Sal M. Onella" wrote in message news:5h4mg.138$lv.13@fed1read12...

were conducted after WWII and ended in the 1950s. The MX missile initial deployment was 1985. By today's standards, the Bikini tests were low yield [~20KT] fission devices.

The point is that some things are possible for each individual and other things are impossible. Anybody who can't dunk a basketball or pass a MENSA exam should know how a person feels when they can't learn Morse code. Cecil as good as it is your analogy still fails thanks to the fact that if I can drunk (and I have no idea wether I can or not) it only means something In Basketball. now if one inabilty to duck a basketball barred them from all sports then you rise closer to the level of what the code test is in the ARS I personally think it would improve the ARS to only allow MENSA engineers to be a member. How does that make you feel? One of the brightest engineers I know, who has a commercial FCC license and was the engineer at an AM broadcast station, couldn't get past 5wpm so he was condemned to Tech class for 30 years. He knows more about radio than any ten other hams. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
