Default If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

..... yup, and to complete the circle we should also learn both the older and
newer versions of it, because you never know when some
poor 90yr old ex-radio op is gonna fire up his spark-gap and send out a
distress call using non-international code.....
It's all about being prepared, ppl....

Lets face it folks to be a well rounded Ham one should learn CW. You
never know when it will come in handy. I am not that good at it, maybe a
step or less above a Novice, but I like to fool around with it. One ought
to think about learning it in do time even though it is not required.
My 2 cents worth.
