You're not a real ham if you want the ARS to sound like CB. It already does around here mostly silent
I have a question for " an old friend ".
I noticed that you have a difficult time with writing the English language, with regards to spelling and grammar, etc, but you do try to get the thought across. I have a dyslexic daughter with the same problem, and her teachers in grade school used to flunk her thinking she did not know answers to the test questions, when actually, she really did know and understand, but was afraid to write them out because of her dyslexia and the resultant laughter and snickering that followed. When we all caught on to this finally, we demanded that she be tested aurally, where she was asked the questions out loud, and responded verbally with the answers instead of writing things out. This made a hell of a difference in assessing her learning and understanding during her education in the early years. As her father, I was hard on her because of the frustration she caused us at first when we did not understand what was really happening, and I still feel guilty about it to this day. Are you a native North American, or are you an immigrant? When you did your ham test, or any test, did the teachers/instructors make these allowances or alternate testing methods for you also? Were they easy on you, or did they show frustration? Did they understand where you were coming from? Did you have a pleasant attitude to deal with? I am not making fun of you. This is a serious question. Thanks, Jack "an old friend" wrote in message oups.com...
