Most people seem to operate phone anyway, even the old guys who had to
take their buggy to the FCC testing center, battling Indians all the
way.

I'm one of those guys, although I took a bus to the US Custom House in
Baltimore where the FCC had their local office to take my General exam
back in the mid 20th century. No Indians, just hookers (the Custom House
is just off "The Block" on Baltimore St.).

However, I operate exclusively CW and digital modes.

Turns out that after being licensed for more than 50 years, I found out
that I really don't like talking to people very much :-)
