Is the code requirement really keeping good people out of ham radio?

They have that freedom now, Len. only if they are willing to violate the law, JIM I do not and if you have your way never will have that freedom I spent 5 years trying very very hard to get it. I have little (if anything) to show for that effort. in most form of law something become permenet or impossible if attemped for a full year from the ProCode side we see NO room for anything exhalations to work and slave I am certain I have put far more effort on code along than you put into in ALL of your licensure(not your day to day haming) no the world is not fair and while in principle my satus even if I am the only american should allow for an exception it seems I am far from alone I recall reading of someone spending 10 years and finaly making it. why is such effort justified for the option to never use it again esp in a world where Computers can if not operate the mode WELL (how well they do it is debated) can certainly operate the mode better than I (and others) ever would be would you ask a man with with hearing problem not to use a hearing aid to take the code test he can't do the deed without it? then why deny me and others our right use your pcs or other devices that allow to use Morse Coded CW I have operated quite abit on machine Morsed CW . did a lot sending practice stuff for my firend working on the higher code speed required in 1997- 99. anybody that can could follow my typing with zero proofing (instead of the minimal proofing here on RRAP) could pass a test . OTOH I found I could read there "buig sent stuff fairly well certainly enough for my brain which is used to seeing text in a distorted manner could follow indeed during this code practice on 6 I even scored some DX STFU marqueer |
