"John Smith" wrote in message ... Morse is a ghost language spoken by old men when they do their rants and name their illnesses--much to the dismay of the vital and youthful hams... The new 5 WPM test for all classes will guarantee you will NOT be speaking morse to any young men--they will pass the 5 WPM to get the extra license... then you will never see them again--except on phone and modem... John Not so. I've worked several licensees in the CW November Sweeps who gave their year of license as 2000 and AFTER. I currently know several people who have passed their 5wpm so they never have to take the test again but continue to work diligently to get up to both conversational and contest speeds. Dee D.

And your speed is what "John Smith". What makes you qualified to even
comment on this? Do you operate on CW? Save you the time. Your a big mouth know nothing about the subject. Damn...it may be Lennie.

I learned code to get my license, never since--I live what I claim is
fact... .... if I do code it is though an automatic key and keyboard and cw-to-text reader, all of my own design and construction... being a software engineer I really enjoy hardware projects, experimentation and antenna construction--I never get to get my hands dirty in the "real world."
