Yup -- got it right that time. CW *is* an operator skill.


Yes it is.

Do you have
something
against operator skill -- or are you one of those New Age hams that think
yakking into a microphone is all the demonstration of operator skill that
should
ever be required of you?


Do you have something against someone who has no desire to operate CW?
There are many different modes of operation in ham radio, do you operate
them all?

No more than I have against someone who chooses to do satellite work,
while I have to test for it.

Rf Safety is required to be calculated for by people when they run over
a certain power. Why should someone who never intends to work over 50
watts have to test for RF safety?

If someone never intends to homebrew, why should they test on any
equations.


Sounds like we should maybe make up our own tests.


Funny -- nobody has ever been able to "discourage" me from doing anything
I wanted to do. I just went ahead and did it. I could care less what
other
people think, do,


The proper phrase is "I could NOT care less what other people think"


I could not care less if I could care less. 8^)
