FAQ
"Paul Burridge" k wrote in message ... 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? It has its own abiding fascination for some of us. And if you get selfish idiots on SSB encroaching on the CW end of bands, you can blow them away without difficulty and still carry on an uninterrupted QSO with fellow CWers. -- "What is now proved was once only imagin'd" - William Blake Then that's fine for you and your CW friends but is it really the top goal all Amateurs set out to achieve... to go dah dah dah dit dit dit dah dah dah? 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.

Can't really explain it, I guess. :-| -- "What is now proved was once only imagin'd" - William Blake |
