The point just keeps flying over your head. What if someone kept
saying to you, if
you want a driver's license, you have to learn Egyptian Hieroglyphics
first?

Actually Jeff, you don't get the point.

When you get the license for HF amateur operation, you get privileges that
include code. Code proficiency is part of the requirement. Code does happen
to represent a significant part of HF operation.

It has nothing to do with Egyptian Hieroglyphics, boating, GPS, driving,
etc.

It has to do with demonstrating you know what you are doing in areas that
are pertinent to the license.

I bet you would be whining too, and I would love to see you ask what
learning that has to
do with getting a driver's license and then someone comes back at YOU
with: "Stop
whining, you want to drive a car, learn Egyptian Hieroglyphics."

No point to go on with anything else. You need to understand THIS
concept FIRST before
anything else.
