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

Then why isn't knowledge of Morse code and the CW mode sufficient? Why must someone be forced to memorize the individual characters? We aren't made to memorize every value of resistor and capacitor, or every offset for the six meter repeater subband. And anyone copying CW character by character is never going to get any further than someone talking letter by letter. Those who don't understand it denigrate it. You denigrate the resistor code. |

Even with MIL quality and transparent coatings, the numbers on 1/8 watt resistors are kind of hard to read.

Exactly how does one develop the resistor color code from first principles? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
