The real oddity is how this situation came about. Once the no-code
technician license was introduced, people chose to take the route of
studying the 200 page book to get the no-code tech license rather than
the
much simpler Novice written and simple 5wpm test. It was the
beginners
themselves who changed the Tech to a beginner license by choosing to
bypass
the Novice. People are strange.

Just goes to show you that Morse only privs on HF don't appeal very much
to
the
vast majority of people who want to talk, learn and experiment with
digital
modes, etc.

I'm just amazed at how easily some can brush aside the monumental
waste of time learning the Morse Code and become.

Probably someone without a job, on disability, or retired.

Boy you certainly know how to jump to erroneous conclusions. I work a full
time job, which also entails travel further limiting my time. I found
learning Morse to be no more of a waste of time than studying theory. They
both take time and both are worthwhile.
