Hi gang!


Just for some grins, check this out:
http://www.lildobe.net/video/

It will take a bit of time for the folks on dial-up, but it is

worth
remembering that those two guys were not setting any speed records.

It
sounded about like the commercial CW circuits on the marine bands I


listened
to about 37 years ago ....

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Jim AA2QA



When he read what was on the paper it did not include a callsign,

where
these legit ham radios? Did another fast code reader get a call sign

in
there?


What you see on TV is taped and edited. They cut out things like the
ID.

FCC requires that you ID at the *end* of a QSO, and every 10 minutes if
the QSO goes on longer than 10 minutes. The clip is only 3 minutes
long.

Good old Jimmie Noserve jumping in as the "expert" on
TV broadcast production (years of work in that...). :-)

When is the actual NBC "Tonight Show" taped, Jimmie?
At what time? How long before the NBC TV network
feed?

You've been there, right? Waiting in line along
Alameda with the other tourists? Or do you have
"insider information" again? :-)

Oh, my, yes, I'm sure the producers were most extremely
careful to NEVER break any amateur radio regulations!
[they might ALL lose their JOBS over such a gaffe!] :-)

=======

The "Tonight Show" is ENTERTAINMENT. It isn't a
journalism show. It isn't a documentary show. With
the new production company featuring Jay Leno, the
tone of the "Tonight Show" has taken on a sharper edge,
more biting, as compared to De Cordova's company with
the late, great Johnny Carson. Leno likes to twit fads
and ignorant people.

A current fad is "TXT-ing," that of sending short text
messages over cell phones having that feature. It's a
big thing among teeners all over the country now. [the
USA has over 100 million cell phone subscriberships]

Cell phones were never designed or implemented with
text messaging in mind. They were done to extend the
wired VOICE telephone. However, as the original analog
cell phone converted to digital, a limited form of text
messaging was possible and that was incorporated into
subscribers' sets. Teeners picked up on that as a form
of "very personal, like 'private talk' communication"
that grown-ups and others couldn't immediately overhear.
That 'privacy' thing is a big hit with teeners. ;-)

"Morse code" is the first BIG instant-communications
means and debuted 160 years ago. The On-Off signalling
of "morse code" was the ONLY PRACTICAL means of using
radio for communications, demonstrated 109 years ago.
[most people are AWARE of "morse code" through the
entertainment media and most have never experienced
first-hand any live communications with that...they
know it is OLD and obsolete for practical communications]

It is a no-brainer that old, obsolete "morse code" is
faster than the new fad of "TXT-ing" messages via a cell
phone. The "demonstration contest" on the Leno show
was a SETUP to deliberately POKE FUN at the fad of
"TXT-ing." It wasn't anything else...just one more
item of "humor" a la the Leno company to get the
audience amused by poking fun at current fads.

Ham radio morsemen Lifestylers want to wave flags about
"morse code" and how triumphant was their "success" in
that show-biz SETUP that was a guaranteed pratfall
by the "TXT-ers." That short Entertainment bit was
NEVER intended as a true contest.

For a REAL contest, live, [rehearsed or not] manual
communications means, pit an experienced typist pair
using old, surplus 60 WPM teleprinters against a pair
of experienced morsemen using either pencil-and-paper
or manual typewriters to record received "morse code."
Use "over-the-shoulder" live TV camera angles to show
the "incoming" text for the audience...and to show
the errors made by the morsemen.

Will TV Entertainment shows ever consider such? No.
There's no real Entertainment value except for a very
small niche-interest fraction of an audience. This is
less of a show-biz SETUP than modern "TXT-ing" versus
160-year-old manual "morse code." Audiences won't
have anything to LAUGH at. Teleprinters are going to
win out eventually since their throughput is
sustainable and less error-prone than manual "morse
code" means.

The radio world has LONG AGO done the "contest" bit in
actual practice and found "morse code" to be the
LOSER. The rest of the radio world has GIVEN UP on
"morse code" for communications. The die-hard
fanatics in amateur radio still cling to "morse code"
as "good" or even "best" because they are still lost in
the fantasy and mythology of olden times.

That's not SHOW-BIZ, Jimmie, that's REALITY. Show's
over. Get a grip. Go home.

Sure glad we have you here to remind us of that.

Leno likes to twit fads and ignorant people.


As opposed to YOU who IS a twit and an ignorant person.

Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre it was.....

I guess the fact that the Morse guys did it faster and with 100%
accuracy doesn't account for anything, eh?

I K N E W that Lennie would try to talk his way out of this
one...!

For a REAL contest, live, [rehearsed or not] manual

They didn't do "over the shoulder" video on Leno, Lennie, however
the Morse guys apparently did 100% copy.

I was able to hear 90% from TV audio, and the receiving guy
apparently got it 100% right.

The radio world has LONG AGO done the "contest" bit in

"fantasy"...?!?! "mythology"...?!?!

The Leno program shot a BIG hole in THOSE adjective for you,
Lennie.

That's not SHOW-BIZ, Jimmie, that's REALITY. Show's

Lame Loser Lennie...Barking orders again...

Mad when no one listens or heeds him....

Maybe because he's wrong so often...???

Doesn't account for much!

It's kind of like a speed contest between a turtle and a snail --- mildly
interesting, but inconsequential when comparing them to the speed of a cheetah.
