Perhaps you think those that know/use Morse are superior to you. I don't
ever recall seeing anyone that advocates Morse saying they felt superior.

Perhaps you have a short memory, then, Dan. A search of Google or some
other UseNet archive would, I'm sure, turn up at least one thread from
circa July of this year where at least three of the PCTAs in this NG
were claiming exactly that. In fairness, I'll admit that I don't
recall you being one of them. Nevertheless, the attitude does exist
among some of the PCTAs who regularly post here.

I know I don't feel that way. However I do feel those that don't play on
CW
are missing a major part of the enjoyment they could get from having a
amateur license. But thats their loss not mine.

I feel that those who don't participate in public service work are
missing a major part of the enjoyment they could get from having an
amateur license. However, I don't go around advocating that hams be
required to do so, or that they be tested on their ability to do so as
a requirement of obtaining a license.


EXCELLENT point, John. Touche.
