My parents were both Hams (Amateur Extra), as well as 2 sisters (General Class). I felt rather shamed to get my General. I thought I’d never learn code. It took me forever until I discovered Code Quick software that pairs the sound with a pnuemonic/ word sound like “dog did it” for the letter “d.” I could finally hear the difference and learned all the code in something ridiculous like 2 days. I also reccommend Ham University which is now free. It was the best code software I found (I tried a lot!!) before code quick and is great for practice and also has test questions for the written test. I’m proud to say I had perfect copy when I took my code test.
Well, I think learning code would be easy for me - it’s really a kind of language, and I’m good at languages.
And, I will learn it, because it intrigues me; but CW isn’t required anymore.
It’s the math that’s getting me down. I’m one of those people who got into college on good SAT scores for things like language, literature; my math scores were rotten ;-)
(Fortunately, I’ve got a brainy husband, and he’s teaching me all those ‘things to the power of’ &c :-)
