Great, not much longer and Ham Radio will be CBHAM RADIO world wide

Look at it this way Bruce. It will rid the CW segements of useless
trash. They will all be on SSB. Digital will also be safe because that
requires some intelligence to set up and operate a program. Thus
elliminating most to all of the dumbed down hamsters.

Of course it will be a proccess of attrition in the CW field.
Eventually there will be no one left.

I worry about that as much as I care about 'global warming'. I won't
be here that long.

Oh BTW with the bands so sorry (SFI 97) I notice there is basically
NILL action on SSB. But I hear lots of CW stuff....wonder why that is?

It's because people convince themselves the bands are dead and don't
transmit. If nobody transmits, then there's no-one to work. Granted the
bands are poor, but the WAE contest, for example, showed it up as a self-
fulfilling prophecy.
