Caveat Lector wrote: First off currently THE CODE TEST IS A REQUIREMENT -- PERIOD And if you want something bad enough, you buckle down and DO IT, whether you like, dislike, will use, or NEVER use the code. All the arguments against the code are beside the point. It is NOT the code that stops folks. It is the time, dedication, and good old Yankee can do. For example, I have tutored folks on the mores code. The average person needs about 30 hours of study and practice on the code to hit 5 wpm. More than 90% of those that stuck to it -- passed the code test. The other 10% required more time and most made it. Soon the code will go away as a requirement But then we will undoubtedly hear -- Aw gee I have to take a test on regulations, electronics, ad nausea It is the motivated can doers in this world that get ahead and succeed. The rest endlessly complain, make excuses and get no where. In Navy Aviation Electronics school, we had to pass the code test at 8 WPM in order to continue on in the school. Many hated it, complained, I'll never use it, etc. Until our old Chief instructor sed to us -- you will learn the code or you will find yourself in the boiler room of an Oil Tanker. You know what -- we ALL passed Very good! dxAce Michigan USA |
