I have noticed that a lot of the PCTA don't actually operate CW (present company excepted). There are a lot of people who take the view that they had to do it, so others should have to. Naturally, that group aren't much interested in CW certificates, 'cos they probably wouldn't be able to get one! Yes the ARRL does do Morse proficiency certificates. However they are sought only for personal satisfaction and have no connection to licensing. I have them for 10wpm and 15wpm. When I took my 5wpm and 13wpm license tests, I was dissatisfied with my copy. Even though I successfully managed to answer the required 7 out of 10 questions, I had nowhere near solid copy. So I undertook to earn the certificates simply to satisfy myself that I could get solid copy. Although my 20wpm license test also lacked solid copy, I wasn't as dissatisfied so did not seek the higher level certificates. However, now that I'm into CW contesting a bit, I may go for the higher ones as a goal to help me up my code speed. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
