Soldering requires some modest skill but one
can hire that done if desired. The other items
are necessary but no skill is required just
taking the time to do it. (snip)


If you truly believe there is no skill involved to do those things
properly, I suspect you haven't done most of them (at least not properly).

Dwight, morse code proficiency overrules all other things. It doesn't
matter in other skills. Only one thing counts - morse code skill.
