Ok, what if you were stranded on a desert island, and had to use code to
save someone's life?
Could you use the coconuts to build a radio in order to send said code?
And if you could build the radio out of coconuts, why not just build one
with a mic and speak
the miracle of life into being?

The fact that the fcc has made this test so much more attainable is a
good thing because it invites those (like myself) who decide to join
this hobby as a result of the test being passable with a basic
understanding of the radio spectrum and laws of using the spectrum for
which you are licensed to use.




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

no they would not

I can't use CW well enough to save myown life with it muchless someone
elses.
