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

Now, today, we have such things a PSK31 to do much of the grunt work.
That will work as well as CW in most cases, I find.


Don't forget thought that solar flares and especially the aurora they create
induce a phase shift in signals and that wipes out PSK31.
