Why is such a written test necessary? The use of any of those modes is entirely optional. Considering the power levels, the number of frequencies and bands, the overall safety considerations, the desirability of proper operation when using the various operating modes, and the importance of the rules associated with all that, the necessity of the written exams is clearly obvious. Can you establish a similar necessity for the Morse code test? Prove the necessity for a written test beyond the most basic rules and regulations. I've already explained the necessity of the written test in the previous message and in the paragraph above. Sure. The basics. So prove why the tests must go beyond those basics. Since you keep asking this, do you have a point to make, Jim? This is a discussion about the code test. I have no desire to expand that into a discussion about the written exams, including a review of those exams. Further, I think the value of the written exams is bloody obvious to all. Therefore, there is nothing to prove. If what matters is the learning that happens *after* the license is in hand, why all the fuss about written tests? Read my first paragraph above.
