YMMV I do not face that choice at all Itried for years to learn IOW, is standing on principle, and refusing to learn Morse code a better thing than learning it to get the priveliges? Again YMMV I certianly understand those that can easily choose to learn it are likely better off if they do, esp if they also continue to argue against code testing - Mike KB3EIA - |

Yet he passed the code. He just cranked the volume up and used headphones. If he can do it, anyone can. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

I doubt I'll ever be proficient at Morse though. To get an idea of what it is like for me, imagine concentrating as hard as you can on something. Can I do it? Sure. But not for extended periods. Certainly turning up the headphones helps, but the levels I use are fatiguing, and they sometimes annoy the other ops. - Mike KB3EIA - |

If my ex was practicing code without the headphones, I had to leave not only the room, but that floor of the house. If he was using headphones, I could hear it more than well enough to copy his practice sessions. The point is that he passed the test. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

Flint, N8UZE Exactly Dee.....these anti-code dunderheads don't get it. It is mostly a matter of dedication and persistence to learn Morse. They obviously have neither. Dan/W4NTI |

No it is matter of law, by what power does the FCC have to continue this Morse Code Welfare program. Nothing in the constitution, and nothing anymore in the the treaty. and no one has shown how any provision of the sonstitution allows the FCC to without access to hf based on the skill in the mode. The FCC has ruled in the past that it does not have a case to make. But ultimately one thing many of them do lack is desire, desire to learn Morse is a requirement it is indeed one of the most vital requirement to learn the mode. Why don't they have this desire? I don't know. but maybe you should look to seeling the mode better, if you think it is important Dan/W4NTI |

If he was using headphones, I could hear it more than well enough to copy his practice sessions. The point is that he passed the test. Of course. Passing the test is the main point. My XYL-who has very, very, good hearing, can actually listen to the television by the residual sound coming out of my headphones! Problem is it is a little biased toward the high frequencies that way. Most of the time we compromise and turn on the closed captioning. The acuteness of her hearing is such is that she can hear soap bubbles in the dishwater "popping" in the living room, which is about thirty feet from the kitchen.And I cannot hear them under any circumstances. We both feel bad for each other! 8^) - Mike KB3EIA - - Mike KB3EIA - |
