The answer is "yes it is a real contact" and so far as you were
communicating with some one using a radio it also is "like talking
to someone on CB."

Dude, your arrogance is showing.


I would have said ignorance

Don't tell me You want to dumb down ham radio now as well. Where have
all the communicators gone?

Any 12 year old can learn code in 2 weeks. Getting rid of it would not
dumb down Ham radio at all. Code is a good thing to know. Whether you
use it or not is a personal preference. I think programming you're own
software to send code yourself and building your own radio is a lot more
technical than learning code.

But people don't want to be skilled at anything anymore. They don't want
to make an effort to learn CW, they may not make an effort to learn other
things to advance themselves technically either.
