which required code. 5 WPM is not impossible to learn. It only takes a

Took me 45 minutes a day for over 6 months, plus one failed test
to get
to 5 wpm.

I'm all in favor of Morse code testing, but you guys have to show
some
understanding that it isn't that easy for a lot of people.

I aced the writtens, without a whole lot of study by comparison to
a
lot of people. I don't go around calling them retards or stupid.

You have a good point Mike. I have seldom had any problems with written
exams, but passing a Morse test was hell. Those of us who have had trouble
learning Morse have taken a lot of abuse in this group. You hit the nail on
the head when you said you wouldn't do the same if someone had trouble with
the theory.
