Learning the code, and then not using it, is just plain DUMB.

No it isn't. The majority of Hams have no interest in CW. Like
myself,
we only learned it to get our license. Now, its time has passed.

Then I feel sorry for you.


Don't feel sorry for me. I have a beautiful home, with 2 rooms
dedicated to radios. I have over a dozen radios and 6 antennas
topside. I have no problem finding someone, somewhere to TALK to. You
old-timers want to peck away like woodpeckers. Have fun.



I am so proud of your life style. But that does not change a thing I
have
said. Bottom line is you are too lazy to learn the Morse code, thus you
are intentionally shutting yourself out of a enjoyable part of Amateur
Radio.

And further show your ignorance, you state we are 'pecking away'. Wrong
again.

Maybe enjoyable for you Dan, Others don't like it and feel that being
forced into it is not right. If we are not forced to operate in CW
mode, then why be forced to learn CW?


Then why are you not complaining about having to take a TEST on radio
theory?? Or is that next on the dumbing down list ?
