Reread my original post Bill! Amtor, SSTV, Packet, Sats are things I had to
be "forced" to learn that are IRRELEVANT to me and to my needs, but they are
part of the hobby, consequently, I had to learn them, so did you. What do we
need now? A pick and choose exam style where your only tested on what YOU
think is relevant or worthwhile? LOL! I don't think the FCC has that kind of
time. The fact is, the whole exam system is incedibly simple and only a
hinderance to those unwilling to put forth the effort to learn.

5WPM Bill, 5WPM, how much more easy does it have to be?

You missed the point. It's not whether it's easy, it's whether it's
useful and relevant to their wants and needs.

Nearly everybody will put forth effort if they see the results as
worthwhile. A *lot* of people see CW as something they are just not
interested in. Why do you feel the need to force people to learn
something they don't care about?
