FWIW - when one "presses the mic button to talk" - they are considered to be
"KEYING" the mic. Therefore - anyone who is a ham - be they a "code" key
user OR "key" a mic - would still pass as a "silent "key" "
The code is GONE - there is nothing we can do about its demise - so lets
start PROMOTING decent Radio Skills - beginning with the vanishment of
insulting amongst the ranks first off - and those who "might" be considering
coming into the hobby.
well said indeed althought still maintiain I will an SK only over my
dead body

and Intend for that never to happen even have a plan to carry it out
chinese say "man who finishes house dies" therefore I will never quite
finish my home and live forever

but seriously the attiudes and "proCoders" were one of the biggest
things working in favor of NoCode

Code use is now in the hands it should be in those that suport it .
well on second even I, and I do hate the mode personaly would wish it a
better fate than its supports are likely to contrive but for good or
ill it their problem not mine

but insulting those you are requiting ro seeking to convince was never
a good idea I hope they learn that soon
