Why does a Morse/Farnsworth Code advocacy group use a symbol of
violence for their name?


Nope .....a symbol of anatomy used to describe a good CW op as in he
has a good fist .....which I have heard used repeatedly over the
years ...I guess it is a lot simpler to say that than ..... that
fellow can really coordinate the use of his thumb-middle and index
finger and his forearm to send good signals ......na .....I guess
it has degenerated into the pressing of a mike button to complain
about one's health problems or making bizarre noises either on
purpose or by some wildly compressed splattering signal to make up
for poor operating skill Oh BTW don't forget my 10-10 number. But
I guess that pounding brass is more violent than flapping one's jaw

You really don't like phone do you? Nobody's forcing you to tune up to
the phone end of the band!

No Alun I like phone .....I get on 2 meters with the local hams ...if
you are ever on I-70 give a call on the 147.27 machine. I do,
admittedly on occasion, get on HF phone and have had good conversations
with others. I will say how ever that most of the poorest operating
practices occur there. I derive more hassle free operation via CW and
data. The above was in response to a mildly thought out troll.

I passed that way a few days ago. I use the turnpike to visit my cousin in
Michigan (I am in Maryland). I might just try calling you next time,
although I'm not sure when that will be.
