Morris Code -plus- Continuous Wave (CW) Radio Transmission -and-Semaphore Signals ? Do They Defining Amateur Radio ?
Like your link says, it's MORSE code, as in Samuel F. B. Morse. Who's
Morris? Scott RHF wrote: SC, Morris Code -plus- Continuous Wave (CW) Radio Transmission -and- Semaphore Signals ? Do They Defining Amateur Radio ? - - - The Times They Are A Changing ! While I can admire and respect an Amateur {HAM} Radio Operator for Mastering Morris Code (CW). Morris Code in and of itself does not define the Amateur Radio Service. Morris Code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code Continuous Wave (CW) Radio Transmission 'process' in and of itself does not define the Amateur Radio Service. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_wave The Amateur Radio Service is Greater than both Morris Code and Continuous Wave (CW) Radio Transmission - IMHO ~ RHF Boy Scout Merit Badge Requirements - "RADIO" http://www.meritbadge.com/mb/093.htm At one time when I was a very young boy nd a Boy Scout I Learned to Send and Receive Morris Code at about 5WPM -but- Then I also learned to use Flags to Send Hand-Flag "Semaphore" Signals Too ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore_(communication) Neither the ability to use Morris Code or the Semaphone Flags to Communicate 'defined' Being A Boy Scout. just an old boy scout at heart ~ RHF . . . .

I think this is the nature of the premise on which the original post was based. Compare it to a similar situation, where a film camera user is debating a digital camera user: "If you came upon a drowning man, and you had to choose whether to save him or photograph his demise, what kind of film would you use?" Getting rid of CW is like choosing the kind of film. Ham radio is drowning and the anti-code hams want us to think tossing it bricks will make it float better. Dumbing things down is never an improvement. SC |
