I really don't care one way or the other about code - but most folks
have
no
idea how much information can be passed via that keyer. In my day,
I'd
pass
dang near as much info in a given time as a teletype.

Oh how the tales of dariing do and "how great I am" grow
taller and taller and more spectacular, as the years go by
and more alcohol is ingested..........ROTFLMAO!





Didn't take you long to reply. Who's ingesting alcohol? I've to go to
work
tomorrow morning (like 5:00 AM). What is your excuse?

Wow thats early. I dont need to get into work until 8am. Not a dustman are
you?

I've put perfect copy on paper using a manual typewriter at 40 words per
minute. A number of minutes' worth. My mention of 40 or 50 words per
minute was a reference to some of the wonder boys whose great exploits
simply consist of 'cut and paste' on the Internet.

If that is adiquate then whats wrong with cut and paste? Only an idiot would
sit there re-typing out something that could just as easily be cut and
pasted unless it was an original work of course.

I'm simply saying that a good operator can likely keep up with most folks
that are trying to enter original content and not simply pass along a
digital picture, or a 'cut-and-paste' from someone else.

A good operator? Depends on your impression of a good operator. A good
operator to me is someone who uses the radio sensibly, stays legal and cares
about interference and deals with it if caused. Someone who goes on about
ooh i can do this or i can do that trying to put themselves above other
operators in my opinion have a vanity problem. As far as pictures go id
rather use the internet as its a more appropriate media for that.

Then again, original content might be something you aren't familiar with.


With due regard,

Also with due regard and no disrespect intended. Just my 10p worth.
