I really don't care one way or the other about code - but most folks
have
no
idea how much information can be passed via that keyer. In my day, I'd
pass
dang near as much info in a given time as a teletype.

Oh how the tales of dariing do and "how great I am" grow
taller and taller and more spectacular, as the years go by
and more alcohol is ingested..........ROTFLMAO!

A fantastic tale in its day but back to present day what is the benefit? I
think you will find most people will know you can say anything via Morse
just like you can talking so being amazed at what can be passed via Morse
seems a strange thing to highlight. You can pass much more information by
talking. In the past fair enough but times have moved on. Morse is now an
out-dated form of communication practised now by just radio Amateurs.
To any Amateurs who like Morse then that's fine for them. They will learn it
and use it where they like and I have no problems at all about that. But...
to ramble on about it constantly and belittle anyone not really interested
in "just the Morse" side of radio is a bit unfair branding them as inferior
radio users (not aimed at you personally here) Amateur radio can still be a
fascinating Hobby without it, or as I would like, not a forced issue but one
of choice.
