ignore it?

When CW is lost, new hams will be just like CB'ers and SWL's, or
some other lower life form of radio hobbiest. You name it. SC



Nonsense.

It is nonsense in rec.radio.shortwave. Please drop this news group from

Another thread about CW is pointless. You guys have posted the same
comments hundreds of times on this subject.
