Why does it have to be relevant? If the participants in the ARS really
want to impose a swimming requirement, then so what?

Morse code does not necessarily show more interest.

Refusal to pay the cost shows that you perceive the benefit to be
worth less than that. The cost is some 20 hours learning code. You
feel that joining ARS isn't worth the 20 hours of your time.

Putting this artificial barrier may have the effect of blocking out
those with more ability or interest in favor of those with less
ability or interest.

Adding requirements is unlikely to block the highly-qualified more
than it blocks the less-qualified.

Code has nothing to do with the written material. It's a different
kind of skill.

Sure. So?

And it's a single skill independent of other skills.

Sure. So?

...one can recognize code skill separately from the written tests.

One could. So?

The written tests are classes of technical ability.

Arguably, not all relevant. Who actually uses spread-spectrum as an
operating mode?

The code should not be in the path way in between the written tests. Basic
integrity in Amateur Radio testing requires that.

It is not an integrity issue.

Len.
