Because, as far as the "engineer" is concerned, it (code)
isn't a "basic radio communications skill" today, Dick.

Perhaps - but we're amateurs, remember? Not professionals.


Yes, I do remember, Jim. However, why are you asking me this question?
Dick is the one who brought up the engineer in the first paragraph above. I
was simply responding to his comments. And that response addressed the
engineer solely, not amateur radio.


Likewise, few, if any, employers are seeking that "skill."
Therefore, it (code) simply isn't relevant to any of these
careers.

Neither are a whole lot of other things hams do!


Never said, suggested, or even hinted at, anything to the contrary. The
topic raised by Dick was the engineer, not amateur radio.
