Your grandfather was a ham back when you had to know things. You didn't have ham radio stores that sold radios, amps and pre made dipoles. Plenty of people that had to know morse code to get licensed couldn't have set up a decent station back then. Many of them learned code well enough to squeak by the test and never used it again. What matters most is what you do with the licence once you have it.
