Gary:
that is why everyone does not become a ham and in part why cb became the 
wild land it is. anyone can be a cber. and i do have an EE also a ME and CE 
but that was long after i became a HAM. I really did not care about cw at 
age 15 but i wanted to be a ham so i worked for it. took me 3 months with 
an elmer 4 hrs  a day after school mon thru fri. thanks to K4REU sk. my 
dream came true.  it took me 30 yrs become i found out what cw really was 
like. guess what i now love it and that is where i can be found. and yes we 
are a very diverse group that is what makes ham radio what it is .
