Back when I was giving CW tests for the license exams I used a key and
a oscillator. So there is your arguement shot down.

You'll have to do better than that

I understand it is difficult for you to understand how it is to be a real
ham. You know one that knows and uses other modes than phone.

Poor baby. Therapy not coming along well, is it?

"Real ham" = One who abides by 1930s standards and practices

This is the year 2004, over 6 decades later.


Again you will simply have to learn to deal with that Alun. I am sure you
will find someone out there that will agree, and simpathize with you and
your problem. However, I am not that person.

We can sense your differences. And bigotry. And frustration.

Without the telegraphy test, an Amateur Extra has no real
self-perceived elitism over all other amateurs. It must be a
great blow to self-esteem to face the loss of status and rank.

Have a good day.
