I always intended on getting a Ham operators licence but for some reason, I didn't make the time to do it.  A friend's dad was a Ham operator and he offered to help me but I was always too busy.

You should give it a go. There's a free guide out there and it's really quite straightforward.

That's right, I'm an Extra Class and was able to copy/send CW at 50 WPM, but now the TechTechnician Class of license doesn't even require a Morse code test as the Technician license is the entry-level license in amateur radio.
