Stuff it, sausage.

I've "met" more challenges than you have, citizen of Djorkland. I have the
evidence...and a comfortable retired life with a career that still manages
to continue.

Considering I was actively operating and maintaining HF 24/7
communications a half century ago WITHOUT ever having to use ANY
morse codings then or since doesn't make you sound anything more
than a Djork.

Title 47 CFR Part 97 is NOT entiteled "Archaic Radiotelegraphy Service"
and it is NOT a federal requirement to love, honor, and obey morsemanship.

And you are correct "Code aptitude and IQ are completely unrelated" So much
for the "Engineer copout"

There IS some hope, Djork. At least one of your synapses closed. :-)

It has nothing to do whether you or I like or dislike the code.

It has to do with the TEST being there, stupid Djork.

It has nothing to do with "Antiquated technology"

Bulll****! It has EVERYTHING to do with a skill that was first used in
1844...and the ONLY skill that could have been used to make radio
any sort of communications means in 1896.

It has nothing to do with "I'll never use code"

WRONG!

It has everything to do with "Want HF Ham Ticket -- Pass the Test "(at the
moment) If dropped is all OK with me. Times and requirements change as they
should.

They DON'T "change as they should." That code test should have been
tossed long ago, longer than 13 years ago.

Black and white -- yep sure is -- society, government, et al make it that
way.

Color television was made broadcasting law back in the early 1950s.

You've FAILED your Ishihara color vision tests, haven't you?

Don't Drink and Drive, 3 strikes you are outta here -- Pass the Test --
pretty black and white to me.

OK, you've struck out. Now getoutahere! Bye...
