I personally don't have the desire to "take advantage of" CW. I
haven't been interested in CW since I was first introduced to it
and found it nothing more than a necessary evil--a means to an
end--to licensing in amateur radio. I also found it uniquely
lacking in any pertinent application to the process of amateur
radio, overall.


I believe you have previously stated that once you tried HF, you did
not care for it and have since stayed primarily with VHF FM.
There's nothing wrong with that. However, those who work a lot of
HF are really shortchanging themselves if they are unable to use CW.

I work a lot of HF, relatively speaking, and I have considered wiring
up a key from time to time, but decided against it. Shortchanging
myself? I don't think so. I'm happy to stay on phone. Now, I have met
people who don't like phone, and I'm fine with that. It just so
happens that I don't like CW, in the sense of I have no desire to use
it. That should be OK too, but for some reason it bothers you. Why?


No it does not bother me that someone who has learned it chooses not to
use it. They have made that decision from a position of knowledge and
experience. This is radically different from a person judging it and
saying they will never use it when they do not have that knowledge and
experience to draw on.

And yet you say code is "necessary"? As an unqualified blanket statement
that is laughable.
