______________________________________________
Ham radio is the only hobby I can think of where one is "forced" to
learn a skill they don't want and will probably never use. If you're
taking up photography, are you forced to learn developing? If you're
taking up woodworking, are you forced to learn the art of inlays? I
could go on and on, but you get the point. I have an extra class and
am proud of it, but I don't see any point in forcing someone else to
learn something against their will. The operative word here is HOBBY,
remember?
