What about women with real educations?

Would you consider someone with a BSEE from the University of
Pennsylvania and an MSEE from Drexel University to have
"a real education"?

... the cw part


Is an amateur test. And is a trivial problem to people with
real educations..


Simply not neccasarly so Jim


makes as much sense as learning to play a "jew's
harp"--a lot of sense if you wish to, none if you don't...


Then why require someone with no interest in VHF-UHF to learn
those techniques in order to operate on HF? Why require
knowedge of FSK, PSK and other data modes to operate voice?
Why require knowledge of transistors and ICs to operate
vacuum-tube equipment?


Why? We don't require it you don't have to get right fully 25 percent
of the stuff, and you can pick and choose what not to know



IOW, why require anyone to learn anything about a subject they
are not interested in, just to get a license to do the things
they *are* interested in?


We don't you presentation is inaccurate

--

Perhaps what bothers some people the most about the code test
is that it isn't something most people already know. And it
isn't something that can be learned by reading a book, watching
a video, etc. It's a skill, not "book learning".

In learning the code, a Ph.D in EE has to start at the same place
as a grade-schooler. And the grade schooler may learn faster and
do better! Perhaps it is this characteristic of the test - its
ability to act as a Great Equalizer - that causes some to resent
it so much.


Not true, surely you understand that not everyone has the difficulty in
learning Morse Code.

That creates a bias based on brain fucntion and anything but a level
feild

Sorry to hear that, Jim. How simplified do you need things to be?


It's not about simplification, Leo. It's about clarity.

Why can't you just clearly and plainly state what you
suggest that I do?


I have - many, many times.


You just keep writing that I must decide. But
you do not state concrete actions that the
decision will produce.

You must decide.


Why?

What *do* you suggest? Just speak plainly rather than
answering a question with another question, or a zinger.

What's your suggestion?

The way I see it, you have two options:

1. Continue to be suckered in to foolish arguments.
2. Do not continue to be suckered in to foolish arguments.


OK so far.


Glad to hear it!

So far, so good.


Option 1 is expensive - you become a possession of those who goad you
in to responding. A puppet, as it were, dancing at the end of someone's strings....


That's your spin on it - does not address what actions you
suggest *I* take.


That is your current reality.


That's your soft-science psychobabble spin, then. ;-)


Option 2 is much more difficult than Option 1


For you, maybe.

- it requires the
intelligence to recognize a legitimate argument from bait,
and
considerable inner strength to resist the drive to respond,
even when you know you are in the right.


You're begging the question, Leo.

This is your potential future reality.


So what do you suggest *I* do?


Decide!


Actions, Leo.

Owned or free.


That's your spin.


That's your opinion.


Fact.

Owned - or free.

You must decide.


Why?

The path you choose will be entirely up to you.


So there *is* a choice!


There is always a choice.


Odd to hear from someone who told me I could not stop
myself.

Yours to make if your are able to do so,


Ah - now there's a condition!

You must decide!


Why?

Choose wisely!


Wise by whose standards?


We'll all see the answer to that one soon enough - when you
decide!


How will you know what is decided?


How would such a choice be demonstrated in concrete, practical terms?


Hmmm - you read the two options, right?


Just can't make yourself spell them out, I see.

What actions do you suggest?


Decide! Only you can make this decision - you're on your own
now.


You have not offered the requested information. Seems to me that
when you speak of "abuse" and "control" and "goading", you're
really talking about yourself, not Len.

Or perhaps you and he are one and the same.

Good luck!

Based on years of trying to play the Olde Guru of Amateur

BTW - are there archives of those discussions on the Net anywhere?

Might make interesting reading.....


I seriously doubt it would be "interesting." It was just

ham radio group. If it was archived, it would be on AOL
(which I can access) but it was the same old stuff as in
here.
