No-coders are missing a major portion of the HR experience. That is NOT a lie!
It is a fact.


have you done EME or FS-ATV? or used ham radio ofor RC or enaged in
metor scater contacts

OTOH you are lying

all Nocode test persons don't use code is imlied by your statement.
Indeed I one of the stauchest nocoders have explored it. I am missing
nothing it is like the compliants I heard in my youth about membrane
keyboards it was said that you can't toauch type with em, well that
only apllies if you can touch type in the first place



I have not experienced EME or FS-ATV or a great many other areas of
amateur radio but I have done CW. I don't do it anymore but I have
experienced it. CW is the one mode that can get through under almost any
condition. You can (I can't anyway) copy CW in the middle of a thunder
storm, using the Aurora as a reflector, using meteor ionization trails
as a reflector or just direct point to point contact to accomplish this.
Try that with FM, AM, SSB voice or digital.

The problem with this and similar threads is a number of individuals do
not feel that they need to learn CW because they don't intend to use it.

A person of "Quality" may never need the proper etiquette to greet the
Queen but you had better know how to be considered as such a person.
