Code ability should be one alternative among other technical tests. It
seems very odd to freeze a technical test in a museum of bygone
technology.

If one cannot learn at least a minimal 5 WPM code then they have absolutely no
business obtaining an amateur license.

Agreed!
Then you should also learn how to ride a horse in order to deliver the
mail on time.


That's apples to oranges....Cw is the most efficient form of
communication in ham radio...

But it is used by nobody other than a small handfull of hams talking to
one another.

So what? What kind of excuse is that? Are you to stupid to learn it?

It's OK if you are, just go ahead and admit it rather than trying to drag everyone and
everything down to your lazy 'tard boy level.
