Indeed. And more often than not, it's usually good, 'ole fashion Morse/CW
which is getting through.



And just to crown their ignorarance of it all, when I found a
dead-band morning where there was group of very weak Europeans coming in
on 20 meter PSK31 that wouldn't print, but their CW ID's were completely
good copy, Carl and his little lid buddy Brain Burke accuse me of "not
being able to make PSK31 work!"


Dick:

LOL! I've had that experience many times on PSK-31. I think it's
a fantastic mode, but it has it's own built-in feature which serves to
prove the value of CW!

Can you believe the clowns? I had only been working PSK31 for the past
6 or 8 months!

I know, the reason for the failure of PSK31 in that case was likely
polar phase shift, but that seems to be meaningless to our technical
genius and his pals!


Polar phase shift, eh? Seems to be a lot of that going around on PSK-31
these days! Like I said, I think it's a great mode, but it hasn't caused me
to toss my CW keys in the trash -- yet!

"Too many clowns and not enough ringmasters!"

*They're already here!"


So it would seem.
