A Morse Code exam.

Sorry Dave, but you're wrong. The Morse Exam uses audio, not
actual on-the-air transmissions. I guess you're just not VE
material.
indeed if the test were based on air use it might even be possible
to ctruct a rational for keeping the test although it would be rough
to justify why it is was the only mode so tested but one might make
a stab at it
If you have to "send by hand and receive by ear" over the air without
the license you're testing for, you'd be llike W3RV bypassing all the
testing and regulatory material and just getting on the air without a
license. And we wouldn't want that, would we?
You are right that doesn't work but it is closer to a valid arguement
for code testing than anything proposed by the ProCoder in my memerory.
Slow Code doesn't know code.
Wrong.
You do you like to get everything wrong all the time?

You do?
