EV>I learned about Ham Radio in the Autumn of 1956 and hadn't heard   
   EV>about SSB until a few years later.   
      
   I learned about Ham Radio in 1948 while taking a course in High School   
   on "Radio Electricity". Getting a ham licence was an option in the   
   course but while I could pass the Test I could not master CW. I tried   
   several times later i nlife but it just did not clinck with me. Later I   
   learend because of my TITWAL lack of having any rythum sensibilities I   
   might as wel give up which i did. While I did become a NO Code Tech in   
   1992 I wited that long as I was one of those that beleived the NO Code   
   Tech's woudl ruin Radio.   
   In hindsight I think I was right and am sadly disappointed in the   
   Community for cranking out mindless Hams in One day Ham Class   
   sessions. In a 0800 and after 7 hours of reading the questions and   
   answer over and over you are tested. Most pass the test but don't have   
   the Foggiest Idea about what ham radio is all about.
