Kim,

I don't think that you mentioned the
only practical use for CW, today. In
an emergency operation one can use CW
almost as a cipher. If Newsreporters, whom
possess "investigative skills", were to
attempt their intercepts by a scanner,
then they would simply have no
comprehension.


With all due respect, William (or is it Bill), seems that
deliberately
coding/encrypting on the amateur bands is contrary to the R&R, if ya
know
what I mean. And, it also seems to me that any reporter with really
good
investigative skills would be well aware of your scenario, above.



Now Ive heard everything. CW is now a method of encryption. Oh good
grief.

That is a first. I never thought Id live so long as to see so much
idiocy
about the Morse Code. Unbelievable

Dan, you really should stop being so reactionary. Perhaps you'll
re-read
the comment "In an emergency operation one can use CW almost as a
cipher."
Then, perhaps you'll look at my response in a different light. I was
remarking on the fact that William (Bill) was promoting the idea that CW
is/can be used as a cipher. That would not be legal in any way, and
promoting the idea of CW as being a way to "cipher" information is quite
misleading, don't you think?

Sheesh, take some time off...

Yes you are right.

Cypher/Incrypting is used to hide the intelligence in the communication.
Morse Code is not that. Morse Code is used to transmit plain text
(English
in this example) which can be 'decoded' by a real ham anywhere on this
planet.

Of course I understand his initial meaning. That the general public and
MOST ham operators cant copy Morse Code. So it would be equivilant to
incryption.

Thank you.
