It was a mistake for the ITU to eliminate the CW requirement.

(exraneous newsgroups removed) Dave K8MN Sorry Dave, but you're wrong. The Morse Exam uses audio, not actual on-the-air transmissions. I guess you're just not VE material. indeed if the test were based on air use it might even be possible to ctruct a rational for keeping the test although it would be rough to justify why it is was the only mode so tested but one might make a stab at it If you have to "send by hand and receive by ear" over the air without the license you're testing for, you'd be llike W3RV bypassing all the testing and regulatory material and just getting on the air without a license. And we wouldn't want that, would we? |
