Why? 73 de Jim, N2EY It puts people off, especially those who have no plans to ever use CW, and there are a lot of those. If I remember correctly, this is why the no-code Tech license was created. Oh, want increased "privileges?" Earn them. Sometimes earning something (Like a degree, for example.) means "learning" a few things that you may never use. Heaven forbid we should teach this concept to our kids. Instead they have a whole generation of underachevers who would rather whine than achieve. Remember the Regents! It "puts people off," it'd almost be funny...if it weren't so sad. You are (deliberately) confusing the issue of having to learn more theory to upgrade with the issue of learning to use CW in order to use HF phone. This has nothing to do with teaching kids they should get something for nothing, if that's what you are saying. But then, if you regard CW as a holy sacrament, your argument would make sense, which it doesn't. Alun, N3KIP |
