We each must choose our activities based on our personal priorities.


Thank you very much, Captain Obvious.

But do not whine and cry to change the requirements simply because it's not
high enough on your priority list
to put some time into it.


I wouldn't characterize it as "whine and cry" (unless I wanted to prejudice the
audience). Seems more like "this is my opinion on the matter".


It doesn't seem that way to me, Hans. I think "whine and cry" is a
fairly accurate description. I have no sympathy for one who can't climb
the 5 wpm morse mountain in order enter the world of HF amateur radio.
None.

Besides if you haven't time to study code 15 minutes
per day, you don't have time to study the theory either.


Is that kinda like when you told your child "if you haven't got room for more
green beans, then you don't have room for dessert either"


Was there anything incorrect or inaccurate in Dee's statement?

No, and of course neither did I say there was.

It's a perfectly accurate statement, just like the following similar
statements:

Besides if you haven't time to study code 15 minutes
per day, you don't have time to take a shower either.

Besides if you haven't time to study code 15 minutes
per day, you don't have time to bathe the dog either.

Besides if you haven't time to study code 15 minutes
per day, you don't have time to mow the lawn either.

Besides if you haven't time to study code 15 minutes
per day, you don't have time to snuggle with your
spouse either.

Besides if you haven't time to study code 15 minutes
per day, you don't have time to eat dessert either.

Besides if you haven't time to study code 15 minutes
per day, you don't have time to play baseball with
the neighborhood kids either.

Just think of all the things you'd have time to do, if you'd just have
learned Morse code and gotten it out of the way! It's a wonder
everyone doesn't know Morse code, so they'd have time to to the things
they really WANTED to do!

I suppose, Hans, it's ludicrous to point out that we were talking
about one set of requirements for an Amateur Radio license as opposed
to another set of requirements for the same license...???

Gee...they're right! You do get wiser with age!

"I agree, Steve. It's ludicrous to point that out. Thanks for

No problem. I realize that, at your age, maintaining focus may be
problematic from time to time. Always glad to help the aged and the
challenged to live a more fuller and productive lifestyle, Hans.

73 es my best to K0CKB.

I'm sure your "best" would not be up to her standards.

Uh oh...no "73"...And it was looking so promising for a few moments
there...

Those would all be swell if the object wasn't to obtain an HF amateur
radio license.
