John,

Just get on digital modes. Don't worry about CW. Digital is where the
fun is and the copy is much better.

A buddy of mine in St. Louis and I experimented with low power and various
digital modes last night on 40 meters. CW was marginal. 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.

MultiPSK, while a bit cluttered and ugly, is a great program you can use.
MixW is cleaner looking and very good, but not as many capabilities in the
program.

Move on and start having fun.


You just don't get it do you. There are conditions for each mode that will
make that mode "the best". Every mode has its place. That goes for voice,
all the multiplicity of digital modes and yes CW. Last night you had the
best luck with DominoEx. Another night RTTY might be better. Another
night, voice might be more intelligible. Yet another night will favor CW.
no you don't get it

CW is in radio terms stone age, simol e fact stone does not mean
useless you lack of ability to use english is worse than my problem
with it you can't use words even though you can spell em

A stone club is still leathal does that mean the army should drill and
train with stone weapons?
CW is obselete like HMS Canpous at the battle of the Falklands, like
the Bowmen that fought with em in the retreat to Dunkirk .

utility does not preclude obselenece

LEARN ENGLISH esp when yo u lhave played spelling NAZI your self
