I wonder if having to draw something makes for a harder test?

Now you've opened another can of worms, Mike. I'm sure that you'll hear
from those who find it difficult to draw if only to tell you that they
regard drawing as a hazing ritual or as jumping through a hoop.

Just like the difficulties I had with learning Morse, a person that has

trouble with drawing should just work hard at it!

Do you have trouble drawing a salary?

Can you draw a draft of beer?

Can you draw flies?

I have NO trouble drawing legible schematics. Did that in 1956 in
Chicago at an FCC field office. Did that for years and years
in the southern California electronics-aerospace industry. Am still
doing it.

I just deposited a hefty check in the Bank this afternoon, all for
doing real work in electronics. From General Electric.

I dunno where the idea of working hard if you need to went to, but it
seems to have gone somewhere.

Well then, you need to get down to basics...like knowing how to
skillfully shoe a horse in order to get a driver's license...like being
skillful at blowing glass so you can make your own vacuum tubes
(even if vacuum sucks). All basics taking a LOT of "work."

I'm sure that making all those analogies is a lot of work, but I don't
need them any more than I needed to use any morse code to work
in HF radio communications a half century ago.
