NOTHING has changed about the USE of Morse code, from spark to today's
rigs-which aren't simple CW generators, BTW,

then why not test the use of spark generators, thier constructions, etc?
it's a "basic", right?

since you seem to have
missed that (at least in the case of most modern rigs).
It's the MODE, the requirement to selftrain to learn to use it, that
remains just as valid today as ever.

just what century do you live in? haven't you heard that even in
the military they are pulling away from morse code use?


Of course technical improvements in equipement have enhanced the use of
Morse as they have other modes, but the simple requirement to learn to
use it remains, as always. FACT!

Nope. your oppinion. MAN you need to learn the difference between
a fact of life and your oppinion on a topic. Nobody will buy your
circular thinking of "I said it, so it MUST be so!" thinking.
