The Indians use to communicate with smoke signals. Learning smoke
signals should be mandatory. This would separate the men from the boys.
Smoke signals are not dependent on electricity. You can use a match or
rub two sticks together. This is the only reliable way of passing
messages when all else fails.


Dear MP,

Please pull your friggen head out of your ass and use your brain for once.

Smoke signals are a line of sight form of communication and you can't see
them at night unless the fire is extremely large, and smoke signals don't
work well in natural disasters like huricanes and tornados. Blind people
can't see them either, they can only smell the smoke.

CW works well all the time, unless you're too lazy or dumb to learn it.
In which case you'll probably want to stick to playing with your matches
and smoke bombs.

If you want to go slightly higher tech you could use a Heliograph. Of
course they don't work at night either or on a cloudy day but the signal
can be directed like a beam antenna.

These CW vs The World arguments are amusing, kind of like old
programmers claimimg BASIC is the only way to go, or old database guys
who would claim that flatfile databases are better than SQL.

In a lot of areas - the FIRE DEPTS. don't approve of OPEN BURNINGS - so
I guess that means that you would have to get the local fire depts. blessing
prior to your disaster to use smoke!

Reference to the subject - if one did not want to use pure CW (if there
is a mental or physical block from learning it) - there are other digital
signals that could be used, i.e.:PSK31, etc.

Other line of site communications could be - focused white light beams,
Lasers, flags, etc.

I think the real issue is that you and some of your friends are just
plain against CW, (and you want to turn everybody else in that same
direction), you don't use it, you don't want to learn it, etc. If that is
the case, then why don't you just drop it - QUIT NAGGING LIKE AN OLD LADY -
and go onto some other subject or project?
