The best was DominoEX with FEC - just about 100% all the time and it also has a second channel to display additional information. CW can be fun at times, but maybe it's not your thing. Let the stone-age hams continue with CW, and move up and on to the digital modes.

Thank you, I was haveing trouble confusing "F" and "L" I got nothing against CW, but being kept out of amateur radio for 40+ years cus I had difficulty learning the code, sucks. Finally, I got enough right to barely pass the 5 wpm test. Still can't find anybody slow enough for me to copy on the air. If I ever get good enough to use it, I'll try a few homebrew transmitter projects. I expect there are some technically competent people who might be interested in amateur radio, but have no interest in learning code. John They're not interested in being about to communicate in all ways effectively, they just want to be phonies. They they could've stuck to CB for that. |

Sorry Blow Code, but you cannot turn back the hands of time. The 13 & 20
WPM tests are gone forever. And soon, the CW testing requirement will be eliminated completely. It's the will of the majority. It's evolution. You can whine, cry and carry on all you want about the CW testing requirement. It is going the way of the buggy whip, the Ford Model-T, dinosaurs, the carrier pigeons, and a host of other old, outdated, and unnecessary things of the past. Good Bye and Good Riddance.

: Dee, you can disagree all you want. The fact is that the world is moving on and away from CW testing. Not the mode, but the testing requirement. It is just outdated and not necessary. If you want to learn it and then use it, great. The time has come to stop forcing an old mode onto people. We can debate the merits of CW all day. In 200 years, no one will be using it. It will die a natural death like all languages because the world evolves. Better things come along. And like many humans, you are resisting change because people hate change. But change is inevitable. You cannot stop this change and it is a change for the better even if you won't admit it. History will show the only way to save the Amateur Radio Service and help its growth is to evolve and change. Out with the old and in with the new. Those that won't evolve will fade from the earth just like stone-age man. Good bye CW testing requirement. Your departure is long, long overdue. Dee Flint wrote: Again I disagree. That analogy is not really valid. A better one would be comparing it to driving an automobile with a stick shift. I personally feel that every one who drives should be required to know how to drive a stick. They often get better mileage than automatics as an experienced driver can do a better job of selecting the shift point than a mere gadget. More people might select stick shifts if only they knew how to drive one. Dee, N8UZE As it happens, I do think people should have to learn on a stick shift, but I don't support code testing. If you can't drive a stick shift, you can't drive my car, as every car I've had has had a stick shift and so will every car I buy in future. OTOH, every rig I've bought has come with a mic, and none of them came with a key. Now, I know you can get some QRP rigs that are CW only. The point is, there is a very real chance that it may be necessary to drive someone else's car in an emergency, or even just to help out. What happens when you need to get someone to the emergency room and the only car available is a stick shift? It's no good saying that statistically manual shifts are declining in sales, as there are plenty of us who will never buy an automatic. OK, maybe you can say that you don't own a mic, and all the rigs in your shack are hooked up to a key (good luck on the local repeater!). What then is the realistic scenario where I will have to use one of your radios to save the world? (or even to save the next door neighbour) Doesn't seem to likely, does it? |

Though you have deluded yourselves into believing you are "hams," you are hardly believable when you wear that title.
