Obviously the code test wasn't a good enough filter in this case. Most of the assertions that a code test should be required are based on the (illogical) premise that if an idiot (the poster) can pass the test, anyone can and everyone should.

Please re-read Phil's reply again. You missed the point as to each

Phil,
So how's retirement going ![]() 73 from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA "Phil Kane" wrote in message .net...

He needs to REALLY sit down and read the rules and regulations or have them read to him and get a grasp on the fact that you can't just do as you damned well please. Or listen to accurate interpretations by a local communications attorney who is willing to teach him without charge (ahem). He does the same thing on local scanner nets, too. Ready for this one...... he is an EXTRA Class licensee. I'm not going to "out" him further - at this stage.

No nation is now bound by the old treaty at all. I asked Phil about something similar a few weeks ago, and he seemed to think it was not possible. After further research, I tend to agree with him. It does look like the changes to that treaty will have to be ratified first.

![]() "C" wrote in message ... My only gripe with the code is the testing. It is stated as a 5 word per minute test. When I challenged the test a few weeks ago I found that it is actually anywhere from 13 to 18 words per minute, not 5 words per minute. The 5 words per minute is a lie.... Why not tell it like it is.... Those giving the test do not want to make it easy for anyone who has a learning disability or not. I have never been able to memorize anything easily when in school, and was accused of being from lazy to stupid. My father told me that I was ignorant because I was partly colorblind. I do not want sympathy, just after studying for almost a year to pass the 5 word per minute test for what it is suppose to be not what someone who is more proficient with the code wants it to be..... If my General CSCE expires again (this will be #2) I will never take it again and will have lost desire in a hobby that I grew up working in for the last 39 years....... C.

There ARE provisions. The main thing is, that IF the person is that handicapped, it is up to THEM or their family to provide any testing accessories to suit their needs, to allow the VEs to send the text. The VEs are not required to provide specialized equipment to cater to the handicaps needs. Not trying to be a smart ass here...but...how do you know it was 13 if you say you can't copy 13???. Could it be he was sending the characters fast and making the spacing long. I.E. Farnsworth method, which is the recomended way to conduct a test? If you want to quit. Thats your choice. I would suggest you go to a different test place with different folks instead. Dan/W4NTI |

It helps if a person types in all caps too! ;^) For goodness sake! By your example, Keith, blind people should not be licensed because, "how in the world would they know what frequency they are on?" Now that you mention it, how does a fully blind ham tell what frequency he or she is on? I suppose that using the memory channels on an HF rig would be one method, but does anyone here know? - Mike KB3EIA - I have many blind friends/hams, and the way they do it is with radios that have speech boards on them.
