Don't forget to mention having to shoe a horse to qualify you for a driver's
license....

Unfortunately, the decision to drop CW is too little, too late to revive the
Amateur Radio Service. The "League" has already laid it to rest with too
many decades of looking progressively backwards and relying too much on anal
rebreathing apparatus to provide their insight......

Just because my Great Grandfather had to 'crank start' his car, we should
ALL have to learn how to do it prior to driving. And his wife had to use a
'crank style' telephone, therefore we ALL should have to master that
technology PRIOR to using a cell-phone just because they did.
Additionally,
we should ALL have to learn the computer language known as 'Basic' or
'Fortran' PRIOR to using a PC because I and so many others had to learn
it.
And EVERYONE should be required to learn an antiquated mode known as CW
before they get on HF because some 18th century guy invented it. Either
catch-up with the times, or get the HELL out of the way! Like it or not,
CW is TOAST!
