BTW, here is why I learned Morse. Ironic isn't it?

Over the last couple of years, I have made a few posts about my
feelings that code should not be a requirement for access to HF
frequencies. While I have not changed my mind on that position, I do
have a question/request from the pro-coders in the NG.

Recently an amature radio operator in my area was operated on for a
growth in his throat. The operation left him without a voice and he
has been using Morse Code on one of the local repeaters at about 5
WPM. Because of this, I now want to learn code so that I can
understand what he is saying.

So, would any of you pro-coders like to help a no-code tech upgrade?
I have to warn you in advance that, even after I learn the code, I
will still not support code testing as a requirement for HF access.
This is a personal decison that I am making because I want to do all
that I can to accomadate another person who wants to use amature radio
and this is the only way that he can do it.

Ok, here you've said you already know code but now want to learn code. This
is very confusing.

I would be more than happy to help anyone upgrade but no one has ever taken
me up on the offer.

If you had looked at the google link, you would have seen that was a
copy of a post from about 6 years ago. You're a little late.
