The thing is Dee, a CW test is a very odd way to 'earn' HF. I'm not atall
sure that a person has not earned HF just beacause they haven't learnt CW.
Sure, Part 97 might agree with that rather peculiar proposition for the
time being, but it won't much longer.


The thing is that happens to be the current requirement regardless of our
individual opinions on whether it is peculiar or not. and I know people who
have been whining for 10 years waiting for the code requirement to go away.
It's rather peculiar that a person would wait that long and miss out on all
the operating that they profess to wanting to do.

They don't do it because they are more interested in ham radio than the
people who just learned the requirments. ;^)
