Andy,
I also am a pilot and getting my lic. was not a privilege I had to test
pretty hard for it and I didn't get to say "hey, those DME approaches are
archaic and should be dropped from the inst. requirements, you guys are
being too rough on pilots I can't learn this" Suck it up, learn cw and
everyone will be happy they did in the long run.

Larry
