It was a mistake for the ITU to eliminate the CW requirement.
 

If an amateur had to relay a through a country and the amateurs didn't
know each other language they still could have passed it by CW and the
message could have been delivered to someone that could read it. Not no
more.

When things start failing communication wise worldwide, amateur radio
might be all there is to relay messages, and the ITU just removed one of
the legs of a three leg stool.

The pro-code arguments seem to be getting sillier and sillier.

I am a know-coder. I enjoy it. CW is my primary mode. I encourage others to
join in. I do not believe for one minute that CW is going to save the
world. I am not sure the FCC should be requiring it while not testing for
the various digital modes or message handling - seems inconsistent

Jerry, I am a 20 wpm extra and I used to agree with some of the things
Slow Code was saying BUT, after all the BS he has created on the
newsgroups I am starting to change my opinion. His constant bullcrap
on here makes me sick. Its ok to state your opinion and move on but he
has a real problem. I mean posting every day in rec.radio.swap for
Christ sake. For someone so worried about people doing the right thing
he is the worst example.

Well, at least I educated you about top posting, and you are almost
doing things the correct way now. I suppose that I should begin
teaching you and others about TRIMMING your followups in order to make
your posts easier to read. It's all there in the news.answers FAQs
too, but lots of people haven't read the material.

The full content of all previous posts doesn't need to be quoted,
because people have threaded newsreaders and can go back to read
earlier posts without your help. Also, you'll save on that precious
downloading time of which some of you spoke. People like Len Anderson
and Dave Heil really need to learn how to TRIM their followups if they
want anyone to read them.

I'll be checking back from time to time to see how you are doing. It
looks to me like you're progressing well. There's definitely hope for
you, so keep your chin up.

Slow Code you are pathetic. I think everyone on here is starting to
realize it. You are the jammer on the local repeater and you get on hf
and jam people because you cant have your way with the code
requirements. Face it nobody in the world cares what you think about
it. You make zero dirrerence in this world. Too chicken to post your
call because if you did you know what would happen. You have ruined
the newsgroups with your BS and soon you will be in everyones kill
file and fade away. Then you will just come up with another name like
No Balls or something. My suggestion to everyone is ignore this loser
from now on and let him get back to kerchunking repeaters and throwing
carriers on people on hf. You know thats the kind of trash he is.

Morse Code is yet another language, dead as Latin, and known by fewer
people than most modern languages. English, written or spoken, is
understood by many more people than Morse.
