He became a bus driver. :-) Is it that you can't help fulfilling the profile, Len? You see the job of another as something of which to ridicule. Anyway, these are the guys who pass judgement on me because I am too fat, lazy, and stupid to buy into the whole Morse Exam stuff at 5, and then 13, and then 20 WPM. The Morsemen are the Masters! :-) Morsemen are 'superior' beings above us mundanes... :-) Any radio amateur license holder is superior to you in amateur radio, Len. :-) Fifty-three years ago I first fired-up on HF with a 1 KW transmitter running RTTY. My "first" really big HF transmission. :-) ....and you're *still* jabbering about it. :-) Didn't get trained in "CW" by the Army, didn't have to use "CW" to transmit on HF or VHF or UHF for the next three years...the middle year involving responsibility of running a team of operators manning 36 to 40 transmitters. I'd be honked too if I didn't have a chance to familiarize myself with the mode. No license required. Perfectly legal. Yeah, funny how government stations don't have licenses and don't require operator licenses. Go figure! Never needed nor used "CW" since on frequencies that ranged from LF on up to 25 GHz, not even needed on HF last year in operating an SGC 2020 from a boat in a marina. Well, I'll be darned. But, to do AMATEUR radio operation below 30 MHz, one *MUST* need to pass a "CW" test! That's right. That's what the FCC says and, as you've pointed out, the FCC rules amateur radio in this country. 1906 thinking in the year 2006. Ptui. Yet despite your feelings, morse testing goes on. Amateur radio goes on. Morse Code operation goes on. I can almost feel your pain. Dave K8MN |
