Ladies (and gentlemen), to experience real amateur radio learn code and work CW. You will avoid all that you don't like about amateur radio and get to experience radio communication in its most pure form.
I passed the Code test & have NO INTEREST in using it other than for a RARE DX contact evey now & then.It gives me a headache pretty quick so it's NOT enjoyable which is not why I enjoy Ham Radio.If it's not FUN I'll pass on whatever mode it is.I'll stick with SSB,AM,FM, a few digital modes on HF & 6 meters & some D-STAR & leave that NOISY CW to others who ENJOY it.It's about having FUN & helping your fellow Man & Woman when you can. {:>)
