[UK-CONTEST] Unwelcome new rules for the 160m Tests

[Regwoolley at aol.com]

You seem to forget what is one mans meat is another's poison. Just because  
you love CW you should not force that on others. I like VHF DX other like  
Top band DX. This hobby of ours is  a broad church. There should be room  
for all! It is a bit like saying oh you don't like going to the pub I love to 
go  every day.

I'm not  upset, but I've been trying to learn CW for the past 4 years and 
at 57 find it  hard going, my dyslexia doesn't help either - I mix up .--. 
and -..- and  things like that.
I'm also extremely busy and admit I should put more time  into trying to 
learn, but I'm NOT lazy, just don't have a lot of spare  time.

So I envy you your skill and the time in which to practice it, I  would 
guess, like my mentor, you started as an SWL and so you had learnt it  well 
before passing the RAE?

I certainly think I'd like it, once I can  get up to reading about 10 wpm - 
I can send faster, like everyone else can,  but even then the dyslexia gets 
in the way sometimes and it's no good sending  faster than I can read.
