Default Just listen to CB if you want to know what ham radio will sound like.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

Slow Code:


We need to keep the CW requirement and increase it. We shouldn't let ham
radio get dumbed down again.


------------ REPLY FOLLOWS ------------

People have only so much time and energy to spend on ham radio or
anything else. Spending hours on CW is truly dumb when they could be
spent on aspects of the hobby that are really important.

Knowing how to operate and apply EZNEC is a magnitude
more useful to me than Morse Code.

Ever hear a no-code on the repeater that you'd just like to take a cattle
prod to?
