CW is mostly callsign/whereabouts/weather/TNX and that's it. If an
actual
conversation ensues, I'm sure no one (except the jerks I know of)
would
waste their time getting carpal tunnel with cursing in CW.
There you are wrong. There are many extensive conversations on CW.
They
converse about the same things voice operators do. I've heard them
talking
about their careers, families, computers, buying and selling on ebay and
a
myriad of other topics.

Wow, most of the CW operators I've known even state that all they "pretty
much" do is exchange information. Most of them also only use it during a
contest, though. Maybe that's the difference.

Complaints to
Kim keeps referencing all her friends that do CW. And what they tell her.
Hey Kim....here is an eye opener for you. CW ops actually to 'communicate'
Yes there is the wx reports, rig here is etc. But real CW ops don't bother
with that booooorings stuff. We talk about everything under the sun.
Get you 'CW OP BUDS'
to get their speed up around 40 and check out 7030
or so. There are some 'real' conversations going on.
