I can copy CW, but I cannot copy CW when the receiver
is in AM mode and there's no CW tone. I'm glad you're
that good but I am not.

Hey Cecil,
Would you do me a favor, please.
Note this thread has been being crossposted to all of these
newsgroups,

rec.radio.amateur.antenna,
rec.radio.amateur.policy
rec.radio.scanner,
rec.radio.swap
,rec.radio.shortwave

I don't know which one you are reading and posting to it from, but I
assume the antenna newsgroup. I am onlt posting this to the antenna
group.

This topic really only belongs in the policy newsgroup, so would you
please edit your replies and delete out all of the other newsgroups
where this topic is not relevant?

Then the subject will either die out, or it will be propagated over in
a newsgroup where people care about something rather than antennas.
For me, I wish crossposting was not possible....... why do we have
separate newsgroups?

Thanks very much, keep up the great antenna postings,

Rick K2XT

You can hear the change in noise as a carrier goes on and off. It's
extremely difficult to copy high speed CW like that if the signal is
strong, but a weak signal or slower CW is just as easy to copy as
noise as it is to copy as a pure tone. T1 doesn't mean uncopyable, it
just means ragged tone.

So now amateurs and SWL's should be Morse code proficient
not only using tones but using the swishing sound made when
a BFO is not present?

The swishing sound is coming from aliens. Try making the same sounds
back to them. You might get a more intelligent conversation going than
the one in this cross posted thread.

I am not good at code but I can do it. You just listen to the rhythm.

Why Should Only White Males "Know" CW ? ? ? - Women and Minorities Need CW Too ! ! !

CM,

OK - Lets make "CW" 5 WPM a High School Graduation Requirement
and Start the Nation-Wide Testing of Every Child at Every Grade Level
to Ensure that Our Kids Know "CW" ! ! !

We can call it the Uniform Education "Code" {CW} Law -and-
Require that No Child Is Left Behind the "CW" Learning Curve !

Why should only White Males 'know' CW ? ? ?
Equality Demands that Women and Minorities "Know" CW Too ! ! !
- - - We need an Urgent National Federally Funded Program
to Close the "CW" Gap [.]

oops - am i ranting ? ? ? . . . oh never mind ! ~ RHF

If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

This ham know CPR.

I wonder how many a retired old-timer who decided to join ham radio
stroked out instead while doing speed runs trying to get to 13/20wpm on
CW?

CW kills.

SWL's should learn CW too.
You never know when you might stumple across a station in distress
sending an SOS and you might be the only one that hears it and can get
help.

SWL's normally listen to AM stations.
How would they hear a CW station?


Many SWL's are Ute listeners. They are the ones most likely to stumble
across an SOS.

Just like a person isn't a real ham unless they've passed a code test, a
shortwave listener isn't a real SWL unless their receiver has a BFO.

(SWL's who listen to shortwave with antique receivers are exempt.)
