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.
