I know what you mean. 40 years on and some planks can't even get the
basics of CW.


I wonder why manufacturers don't make rigs without CW, that would be far
less embarrassing for the code-less. Oh! Wait! They do.....they are known
as handie-talkies, and the no-coders obsess about programming them(must
lock it to the 2m band!), software, programming cables, and which CTCSS each repeater uses.

Did you see that one new Full complained that activity on his local
repeaters has fallen off since he was licensed? Utterly coincidental, of
course. He sounded like the sort of person who gets stuck in a traffic
jam with no-one returning his calls.


Monumentally gotten to, OM.
