What color horse do you use for transportation? Surely you don't use

lazy people, who just want to go somewhere, with no care how it easy it
was to get there. And what if there is a gas shortage? The horse can
take you to the hospital to save your life for only the cost of some
grass.

I see you're still using a keyboard to communicate; they've been around
since the mid 1800s. Tell me you're not still using a telephone; that
was invented circa 1880. Verbal communication? That's been in
use for millions of years. Walking upright? A gazillion years.

It's no accident that the most useful things seem to stick around for
quite a long time. For many hams, that includes CW.

Let's have a contest: We'll each build a transmitter from scratch for
our favorite mode; let's see who can get it built and on the air faster,
and collect more QSOs, within say, a week.

Now, just so this is on-topic for .swap: WTB shipboard 500 kHz xmtr,
preferably, a Mackay Marine emergency rig.

No 73 for you,

Thanks Jeff, I forgot how old the keyboard was. Using RF to send CW is
much more modern. I guess the CW haters are just lazy.
