I struggled damned hard with CW. I really had a hard time with it. The
fellow who did my test for General..I truely believe gave me brownie
points to pass the code part of the exam. In fact..I didnt have a
General, but a Conditional, as I was 250 miles away from a regular
testing place as I recall so was given the exam by one of the Old
Farts who worked with me on theory etc etc.

I was really into RTTY when I got my ticket. Cant be much of that
anymore. Not with a Mod 15 printer and rolls of paper G

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
