[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1793368, member: 46727"] I didn't know you were a ham radio operator. Many of my military buddies were ham radio operators. I still hold an FCC Radio Telephone First Class license (it never expires) but that was back in the days when I was looking for a job at a TV or FM station as an on call station engineer. I do remember the FCC also issued (back then) a license for a Radio Telegraph Operator. The test for that was basically the same as the Radio Telephone license test but included a very stringent requirement and test for morse code. I never really tried to learn code. :) Someone mentioned that the Amateur ham tests did not include code anymore. Is that true? [/QUOTE]
