Hallo you ll'
Again a nice discussion and a lot of aspects
CWing or not or another information code
From historical point of vieuw CW is the oldest and in my opinion the
reliablest
and CW was a boarder between HF and VHF
caused by brain damage i can concentrate on the recieving dittery dah dit
of the morsecode
and so became the morsecode a boarder betweem different kinds of
radioamateurs
practice cw was a license the use unmanageable power
practice cw became the roots of the QRPers
CWers became a elitegroup of amateurs however they did nt understand the
basic goal
after cw proof they rapidly forgot the code and have boasting on DX
and when they met an antenneaproblem they let solve their problem by the
techinical VHFers
SO be a "better " amateur however what is better contacting or
understanding
55 and 73 de ruud PA0RAB

Old codgers still using spark
transmitters and coherer receivers, pounding away in their dimly lit
shacks late at night and boasting about how many countries they have
contacted for 500 milliseconds per contact; and please QSL.

Can you imagine that? People could communicate around the world simply by
constructing a simple transmitter salvaged from a Model T ignition coil
and a receiver contructed of metal filings in a glass tube between antenna
and ground and a battery powered relay.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
