Hey, Magnum (was FAQ)...
"Peter" wrote...
IIRC, Little Britain... "You smell nice, what is it?" "Murray Mints." Maybe it was on the radio series, I have the CD set. I remember, with my alder relatives, Nutalls Mintos and mint imperials... but it always seems to be mints. Avoid mints at all costs, it's a sign that you are getting old. Did you see the first in the new series of Little Britain? All day, the top news was that the new series was starting. The following day, top news was the ratings... 9 million viewers. At this rate, it may overtake the soaps. Oh my, the roly-polies in that naked fight scene. I had to look away to avoid throwing up at the sight of it. Regards, Peter. |

What is this absurd fascination with Morse Code? Wouldnt you rather just talk to people? I know all about the arguements about it getting through when all else fails but is it really life and death?? If i cant get through on the radio I use a Phone or the Internet. After all its just a hobby. Besides, doesnt all that dot dot dot.. dash dash dash give you a headache after a while?? Dont get me wrong, im not having a go at Amateurs im just asking the question.. why is it so important? Regards, Graham |

You know what? I can't copy CW as fast as I used to either. I got into
radio before some of you was born. |

Don't you also enjoy talking to distance stations with your voice too? I agree that the part of the spectrum allocated to Morse should be left for Morse and those who wish to use Morse should have a slightly different level of licence/callsign to acknowledge this but it seems its always but "always" levelled at us with any discussion about seemingly low licensed intermediates/M3's/general class that unless your an extra class/advanced you are some sort of trailer park scum. Not for one minute am I saying you say this but its the general impression most get from some "alleged" full licence holders in these newsgroups.
