Default You'll probably never use CW to save a life, if you're too lazy to learn it.

trolling right along



Are you puting any effort into learning CW Mark or are you just being lazy
waiting for things to get dumbed down some more?

Why don't you just crawl back under the rock you crawled out from

At this point, even a relative moron should get the point that there
are a bunch of people that really don't give a damn about CW. That you
do is not the point, but your continual posts about it are the point.
Therefore, your continual posts lead me to believe you should be
seeking mental help. If you don't think you need therapy, how about
you get a life and if you are so Pro-CW, why aren't you on the bands
right now?


Excellent question, "Slow." Why didn't you answer it?

Though I'm an Extra and passed the CW requirements shouldn't make a
difference if I choose to operate phone. If the requirements change
and new Hams aren't required to take the code test, am I going to be
****ed?
Hell no, because I took the tests when I did because I wanted to be a
productive part of this hobby, not wait for an easier ticket in. I
learned it, just as a huge number of others have, but none of us wish
to push it like you seem to want to. Even the most die-hard CW fanatic
is spending his time on the bands, not on the internet trolling for
arguments.


Nobody responding to your CQs, "Slow?" Is that why you are so
up-tight and angry in this forum?

Now, to provide a response to your query: It is extremely unlikely
that with all the means we have for contact in the case of an
emergency, that CW would be the only way to make contact, particularly
if you live in anything near an urban evironment in mainland US.
First and foremost, there has to be someone else that will respond to
you, and given the things going on with the hobby lately, I doubt that
CW will be the safety net you'd like to believe it is.


For myself, I have HF and VHF in both the house and vehicle, and have
the VHF radios all programmed with all of the local police and fire
frequencies. In a true emergency, I wouldn't lose a moment's time
worrying about whether it was legal or not before I keyed up on a
public service/fire/police frequency if it meant saving somebody.
Would CW help? Not very damn likely, as first I'd have to key up the
HF rig, get to someone that could relay, pass a message, hope like hell
that they actually did call the proper authority, (and were believed),
and so on.
You can bet I'll get attention right away if I key up on any of the
public service frequencies, and they damn well will respond, if for no
other reason than to find me. If that's what it takes, so be it, they
can fight it out in court later, and I'd get so much media attention
they wouldn't dare push it very far. On the other hand, the likelihood
of actually being believed using standard, HF and CW procedures, or
getting help in a timely manner to actually save a life is an extremely
remote chance...


You haven't answered that from a licensed amateur Extra, "Slow."
Why haven't you? Is it possible you don't know of anything in
radio except what the ARRL has spoon-fed you?


I rarely filter anyone, but you've definitely earned the "plonk" of
being filtered. Say Bye-Bye ! ! !


"Slow," you've earned that "plonk" many times over.

Thank you, Rick! You spoke volumes of reality in this new
millennium.

Now, now, "Slow," you are starting to sound like one of those
inbred bigoted morsemen in here. You can't discuss anything
reasonable-like, only cuss at those who disagree with you. :-)

Now go bull**** with Dr Death on 11 meters, and don't come back until you
pull your head out of your ass.


I don't know any "Dr Death," "Slow," nor do I operate on
"11 meters."

Further, you are ten kinds of short on ability to threaten.
Your threats and "orders" become recycled electrons doing
nothing but dissipating a tiny bit of heat. yawn

Take YOUR beloved morse code test and shove it up YOUR ass.
Push real hard...there seems to be an obstruction there.
Must be your own four neurons in the way.

and still holding forlorn hope the FCC will somehow make people see the
light and use CW

the CW has seen the light that being they betrayed the ARS by listening
to the ARRL what 50 years ago

they wouldn't dare push it very far. On the other hand, the likelihood
of actually being believed using standard, HF and CW procedures, or
getting help in a timely manner to actually save a life is an extremely

You'll probably never have to use CW to save a life, but you should learn
it anyway just in case. Ham radio is like a spare tire, when you need it
you hope it's not flat. CW is like the air in the tire. I know I don't
ever want to hear someone say: "Why couldn't you get help, I though hams
were supposed to know morse code."
