Hilarious! I am going to print these out and give them out at the next
Repeater Group meeting. (which I am forced to attend since it is also
the local RACES group meeting :-(


This just occurred to me:


No-coders can never be Silent Keys

Just dead mikes


Oh! Now youve gone and done it! QST will have to change the title of one
of their columns :-)


Oh good, a sense of humor. I was beginning to worry.
At least QCWA won't have to change anything for 25 years.

Listening to the bands these days I have come to the conclusion that
many Keys have indeed become Silent although they are not physically
dead.

And yes, when more code operators die they are just as dead as any
other amateur radio operator who has passed away.


FWIW - when one "presses the mic button to talk" - they are considered to
be
"KEYING" the mic. Therefore - anyone who is a ham - be they a "code" key
user OR "key" a mic - would still pass as a "silent "key" "
The code is GONE - there is nothing we can do about its demise - so lets
start PROMOTING decent Radio Skills - beginning with the vanishment of
insulting amongst the ranks first off - and those who "might" be
considering
coming into the hobby.




Yep, geting rid of the insults just might result in more folks joining the
ranks of amateur radio.

Well, it's not that extreme. Is AM gone? (No, it just isn't very popular
among the current crowd.)

Is RTTY gone? (No, it just isn't very popular among the current crowd.)

Is packet gone? (No, it just ... etc, etc, etc)

I'm going to quit now before I get too obvious :-)

I didn't mean CW was "gone" in the sense of no longer able to be used! I
meant only in the "testing" - which has spawned months if not years of
hateful arguments - so it is pointless to remain at odds with others over
it. Sure - CW, AM, RTTY, etc - are still all there to be used and enjoyed by
those with personal preference. And as well - they should be! Use them to
your hearts content!

True, but it was a little wide.

OTOH some power companies run great spark transmitters.
