You friggen lost it. There's no way you could have passed the written,
let alone CW.

May the lord bless and grant us peace from the mental illness that traps
you by pulling the plug on your internet.

Many ham are American Red Cross first aid and adult CPR instructors.

That trumps CW at any speed.

lol thank you for that

I guess saving lives is saving lives only when it uses CW. Those
firemen are way out of their league when compared to this bunch.

Part of that code is honesty. How honest is it to memorize answers to
a test?

Lets face it folks to be a well rounded Ham one should learn CW. You never
know when it will come in handy. I am not that good at it, maybe a step or
less above a Novice, but I like to fool around with it. One ought to think
about learning it in do time even though it is not required.
My 2 cents worth.

This ham know CPR.

I wonder how many a retired old-timer who decided to join ham radio
stroked out instead while doing speed runs trying to get to 13/20wpm on
CW?

CW kills.


Survival of the fittest.

The fit get a ham license. All the rest get cell phones, CB, and shortwave
listening.

absolutely and conpletely honest

By taking the test you're claiming that you understand the questions
and know the answers. By memorizing the answers you're not learning
enough to understand the questions.

But I wouldn't expect you to understand what "honesty" means.

how balanced is to to place CW over all over ham knowledge?

No one is, any more than by requiring people to know the law one is
putting the law "over all ham knowledge".

How progressive is it?

How progressive is it to not require people to know ... oh, yeah,
that's progressive, since the new thing is to hand out licenses
because people have some kind of "right" to get on the air.

how loyal is it to denny the nation the benifits of allowing more
operators

What "benefits" does the country get from more people using radios who
don't know the first thing about them? (Whatever "denny" means.)

to aquire the expence needed to truely work on hf

You don't acquire knowledge (which is what's needed) by playing with a
radio.

how patriotic is it to keep a staion forom aquiing the skill to be
ready for service to conutry and community?

How does playing CB on the ham bands give one "the skill to be
ready for service to conutry and community"? Or any skill, other than
getting what you want? You don't acquire skill by doing something
that requires no skill. And you, particularly, don't acquire
knowledge by demanding something for nothing.

No, SC - in today's society we can't hurt people's feelings, so the
loud get anything they want.
