In the later case, even those using 2-meters should have to learn it if
they
intend to use it there.
Only makes sense. Something many of you know nothing about.


Since Morse code is used in the HF bands and you need to pass the code test
to get the license to work the HF bands, it seems to make sense to me.

Morse Code is also used on 6 meters and above! But you don't have to pass a
code test to use them. See?

If it makes sense to you that you need to learn morse code before you are
allowed to talk into a microphone on HF, then we know all we need to know about
you.

Q. Why do we not need to learn morse code on 6 meters and above to talk into
a microphone, and why did we need to learn morse code to talk into a mic below
6 meters?

A. International Law.

But now that International Law has dropped the requirement, you no longer need
to "learn how to ride a horse and surrey before being allowed to drive an
automobile"

If you really want to work the HF bands, learn code and be done with it.

I already learned the code years ago when I got my license. The fact that
you assume that everyone that is against the code requirement did not learn
morse code just shows how limited your mind works.

Likewise, you don't have to be a murderer to know that murder is wrong.

Now make sure your brain is engaged next time before putting your mouth in
gear.
Right everyone?

If you enjoy pushing the limits of your radio equipment then you'll be missing
half the DX without CW. That holds true from 160m up through 1296mhz. If you
just want to get on and talk to people, then just get your tech class and an
HT. Simple.
