You have to bend over, screech like a monkey and hold your ankles.
The test is receive only, you have to answer some questions, and it is at
five wpm.
You shame your community of blind hams who have excelled at code for eighty
years.
If you can understand the theory, you can understand the code.
Code is not required for a tech lite ticket, which allows you VHF and UHF
privileges.
It may soon not be required for limited HF access.

Equality is taken, it can not be given.  When we ask for unneeded special
treatment we perpetuate a second class status for the rest of us.
I know deaf hams who feel cw with their fingers or on their ears.

Do you think if a person is learning disabled they aught to get an
exemption for the theory?
