How about the last time you used CW?

Maybe 10 years ago. I certainly haven't forgotten it though. Pretty confident I
could get the key back out and do all right.

in other words do as Isay not as I do

the word is hypocrite

How do you figure that, 'tard boy?

No one has ever said that using CW is a total time requirement. It's just like any
number of other questions that have been on the test either now or in the past. It's
just a 'question' on the test. Just pass the test and if you desire you need never
use CW again. But, you can always renew your license.

One doesn't get to 'cherry-pick' the questions one wants on the exam. I realize
though that that concept is pretty much beyond you.

So why not replace the worthless code questions with more pertinent
questions?

Really? I'm not the one who is incapable of passing a CW test (and neither is
he, for that matter), it be YOU who seems to be incapable and continues to come
up with excuses as to why YOU shouldn't have to pass that test. In fact, you've
even shown that you can come up with a handy excuse for not even taking the Tech
exam. (Question pool).

LMFAO at the newly born Liberal. You and (Ol) Carter should really get along!

Thanks for providing me with a fun filled, humorous afternoon.

Worthless ???? Only in your estimation. It's really a matter of comittment
after all. Want to be a ham radio operator ?? Take the test or sit on the
side lines whining about a simple morse code requirement and wait until it
gets removed. If nothing else, code requirements require effort on the
part of the applicant and for the moment if you want to get on HF, it is
required. It makes those who have gone before appreciate being a ham since
they earned it and were interested enough to buckle down and learn morse
and a smattering of electronics.

Should it be removed as a requirement? Possibly, but if so it should be
replaced with much stiffer technical examinations, including an above
average user levl computer component, than what currently exsists. The
notion that a ham radio license should be a minimum effort passport to
many Mhz of HF radio spectrum is utter nonsense. Wether or not CW is a
"useful" mode of communication is another debate entirely. However by
comitting to learning the morse code, and getting up to 10wpm minimum
requirement, I became a ham at age 13 (that was minimum age back then).
That ham license was a passport to a universe of excting possibilites that
have lasted a lifetime. Perhaps the policy should be changed so that you
could make a choice between a morse code exam or the code free more
technical exam. Either way it should take a commitment on the part of than
applicant that is more than just a desire for instant gratifcation.

If you want a no comittment radio service to be a member of that
already exsists. In fact these days you don't even have to have a license
for it, just buy a radio and start right being a "radio operator". With
the propagation cycle about to go up, 27Mhz should soon be
experiencing a huge upswing in talking skip.
