Actually, without skill in morse, you simply will not be able to participate
in QSO's with a large subset of the stations you listed. A lot of good DX
(and QRP etc.) is only available in Morse (sometimes only in the extra class
sections).



Actually, that is outrageous.

With any decent code reader software and the audio of your rig into the
line in of your sound card in your computer, you can copy and send CW
much, MUCH faster, concisely and intelligibly than any "CW Freak" out
there ... you can send CW so fast, they only WISH they could copy it!

.... technology, ain't it wonderful? Welcome to the new millennium!
