Ham's care more about operating appliances than knowing how to save a
lives.

:-(


Hams could save more lives by supporting a blood drive than than standing by
waiting for that emergency to use morse code.
I hear about hams supporting public service, my daughter DID 75 hrs of
public service last year as a ten year old Girl Scout. I learned CW even got
up to 20 wpm but I dont think it should be any more of a requirement than
any other mode of operation. There is a lot of hams who may not be able to
save anyones lives but they could save their own by turning off the radio
for an hour and taking a walk
