the Code cant be learned. All the rest are excuses.

1. Mentally challenged
2. To Lazy

No other real reason exist, so which one do you CBplussers claim?

It's just not necessary to FORCE people to learn it against thier
will; it's not at all necessary to modern day use of ham radio.


Well then lets just do away with the written. Why should we force someone to
Memorize some Q&As that have no meaning.

Oh, it's TOO easy, but i'm going to do it anyway.

The written IS necessary so that people learn what IS necessary for
ham radio, particularly the rules. Streamline the written? yes... in fact,
there
really doesn't need to be anymore to testing knowledge than saftey and
regulations.... after that point, you're doing nothing than spinning off
into
some certain angle of specialization. The world of information is basically
without limits, therefore, it's not anymore logical to test for the
profeciency
of morse code than it is to test whether you know the exact lenght of what
a dipole is; the slippery slope then takes you to the unlimited number of
antennas that are possible in every possible exceptional situation where
changes would have to be made from operating that antenna from the norm...
and, to say the least, the test book would be 3 inches thick. THEN you
on elsewhere.

However, the written test as it is is VERY applicable to MODERN day
radio needs; the testing of a mode of communication that has been found,
in a free and open market that is influenced only by market forces, to be
getting phased out on nearly all levels of operation and possibilities of
application.

That might be true if the present written did that, but it doesnt

Which is exactly how you did it.

Wrong, I knew the info, which really bugs you. Its a shame you cant memorize
enough correct answers to pass the EXTRA.

No you didn't.
