Oh Dear, it goes on.....

Your little world is obviously CW oriented. That's all.
On the subject of qualifications - I'm not getting into this one. Apples and

Bigger than you think. I worked my way around the world twice before I was
21 as a Wireless Officer and several times since.
I also experienced a H-bomb explosion on Christmas Island and have first
hand knowledge of EMP and associated effects.
No lessions please except you are better qualified than me.
