Isn't Code more of a skill than a knowledge? Any person can look at
a
piece of paper with a code chart on it and translate code, but that
doesn't mean they have the skill to send or receive code over a radio.
Wasn't the latter the ultimate purpose of the code test?
One must know the Morse code to send and recieve it.
