This is a good thread - Is learning Morse Code still a requirement for a ham license?
Tried to lean it in Boy Scouts & shop class back in H.S. - never got past the vowels - successfully managed to avoid learning it in the Navy for fear of ending up in a rubber covered room - only test I ever failed on purpose - tried again in a H.S. extension class - failed again
..........
The license system has been changed since I got mine, there's several levels... Five word per minute Morse Code was a requirement for the "Tech Plus" license when I got mine, that allowed me to use the frequencys some advanced CB radios have, 10 meter.
