Dan/W4NTI No it isn't. The majority of Hams have no interest in CW. Like myself, we only learned it to get our license. Now, its time has passed. Exactly. Unfortunately the people that learned the code, including the "know-coders" that have no interest in CW, have a chip on their shoulder because they HAD to learn it. You must be from the 'me' generation. I learned Morse Code because it was a license requirement. It never occured to me to whine and bitch and hope the FCC would hear me. All you do is whine and bitch. Then guess what happened? I used it, and three months after I got my Novice I had a General. ANd then what did I do? I STILL operated CW. Actually those of you that automatically assume CW is just no fun at all are really missing a large part of the enjoyement of Ham Radio. Whatever turns you on. I learned because I had to. To me it's boring and you couldn't pay me to use it. Thankfully, in the near future others won't be forced to go through the silly hazing ritual code test, to get their license. AMEN Lou!! |
