Half a century ago I got involved in CB with a buddy of mine and subsequently ham radio. I tried to learn Morse code in scouting, but could not as apparently my mind does not work that way...when it does work. As a boy growing up I had a neighbor who was into ham radio and was a radioman on a DD in the Pacific. He became a ham in the mid 30's and said in the Navy school some guys just couldn't master the code as they didn't have an ear for it. I gave up on it and just recently learned that the code is no longer a required part. Last week I read over some of the questions and was amazed at how simple though it was. I learned more complex theory and application in college. Our daughter overheard my conversation with my bride that I wanted to become an operator, so on Amazon she ordered the Tech book which arrived yesterday. Wish me luck guys that I can get both of my brain cells to cooperate.
