1) Back in '78, the students learned Morse Code as part of their CG

training,
so there was no other training needed for them to get Extra Class amateur
licenses. Today, they would need to put in some of their own time, and a

bit of
effort, learning Morse at 5 wpm for that test.


So you're suggesting that 1978 era hams who didn't study Morse
specifically
to obtain an amateur license (ie., they were "forced" to learn it at
20WPM in a military training program) are less desirable hams than
those today who learn 5WPM (QRS PSE) on "their own time and effort"?


No, Hans, I'm not suggesting that at all.

Sunuvagun!


Son of something else.......;-)

Good luck on this one now!


You too.
