ARS License Numbers
I am quite sure that they all got their tickets with CW required. And the problem stations on 75 are quite the same. Which also proves nothing either way. it does prove that CW testing is at best poor proof of screening out bad ops There's no test for one important ham skill: typing. I didn't appreciate how important it is until I learned that one of my pro-Morse buddies does all of his sending with a computer. (He can send with a key but doesn't know where his is.) He says he copies with the computer, too, although he can follow along with the audio. I asked around and found this practice is far from rare; I'm not sure "common" is the right word, though. We also might want to test for basic language skills, including punctuation. While it's not always true, the disagreeable transmissions (and NG posts) often make the speakers/writers sound pretty ignorant. |
