- All this talk about no-code techs leads me to confess that when I got
- my first license in 1951, (Novice WN5DXP), I not only memorized the
- answers to the written questions, I actually memorized the individual
- letters of the Morse code without knowing or understanding any of the
- history and theory behind it and I could only copy letters, not words.
- Fortunately, over the next 42 years, I learned a lot from just being
- a Ham. That's the whole purpose for the existence of an entry-level
- license. I'll bet that the majority of the high-and-mighty coded-hams
- could not copy words when they took that first 5 wpm test.
