Why am I wasteing my time brushing up on radio & electronic theory and
studying schematics when, apparantly, all I need is better cw skills to
enable me to fix my radios.


You need both to be a well balance operator. If you're willing and
motivated enough to be able to learn and communicate with CW, you're also
more likely to be motivated to advance yourself technically in other areas
of radio as well. You won't be one of those unmotivated no-code appliance
operators you hear on repeaters who spend their days kerchunking all the
machines in the area.

The purpose amateur radio is communications. Real HAMs can communicate
with CW and they also speak English, Spanish, and French. Those who can
only speak English are stupid, idiots, turkeys, and are only wimpy
HAMs. Real HAMs are also a little narrow minded, intolerant and
arrogant. If you are one of those open minded and tolerant people you
are not a real HAM and you are probably a liberal, left-wing,
homo-faggot.
