Some things in life are wonderful, like a good pale ale and CW
Morse. But sometimes it is an acquired taste. That very first sip of
beer can be very bitter, and Morse does have a learning curve. Some
people never get the hang of either. Some of us, such as myself have
a bad time with Morse due to physical limitations. Fortunately I can
appreciate the Ale though. 8^)
It isn't a requirement, but just a bit of a temptation to try a
different mode, perhaps get a few more points for the effort.
note: we also give out 2 points for psk31 and rtty. We wanted to
encourage psk for sure. rtty doesn't really need any encouragement,
but the end rationale put it in with the other non-voice modes.
