I learn new tricks every day. Morse Code isn't one of them.

The real issue is probably that HF privileges are probably just not that
important to you.

Thanks for explaining it so clearly. That just makes everything right.




Hey, no prob.


I don't use Morse code, probably never will, unless I get into keyboard
Morse.

But I did want the HF access, so I learned Morse code. It was that
important to me.


As for what is right, do you know that there are thousands, maybe
millions of people who can't pass the writtens? How is it right that we
have any testing at all when we discriminate against them?


It isn't an insult to anyone to say that HF access isn't important
enough to them that they will take the time and effort to learn Morse
code. Ham radio doesn't have to be important to anyone - it's a hobby.

yes it is if the person says it is one right we ALL have mike is to
decide for ourselves what is insulting to US

It is an insult to mandate testing in 19th century tech in a service
using PUBLICLY own property and claiming to have anything to do with
techinal admavncement, esp if I say it is since I am more important
than the regs at least on some elvels I am a man not a mindless sheep

I WAS BEING SARCASTIC AND I THINK IT WENT RIGHT OVER YOUR HEAD

YES IT IS. I'VE WASTED HUNDREDS OF HOURS TRYING TO LEARN MORSE CODE AND I
CAN'T DO IT. YOU'VE TRIVIALIZED ALL MY ANGER AND FRUSTRATION. YOU
DISMISSED FIFTEEN YEARS OF FRUITLESS EFFORT IN TWO HURTFUL SENTENCES.
YOU'RE NO HELP.
