Beetle, those band segments are not CW only. They are RTTY/Data. It is just that the tech operator is authorized there for CW only (CW is allowed anywhere you are authorized to operate though).


I break down the test difficulties and comprehension requirments as follows:


Tech -- Elementary school graduate

General -- Grade school graduate

Extra -- High school graduate


What that means is that if you are still in High school, you should be able to easily master (comprehend) the General test, but may find the Extra test difficult. 8 year old kids should be about ready to pass the Tech test.
