The answer is "yes it is a real contact" and so far as you were
communicating with some one using a radio it also is "like talking to
someone on CB."

Dude, your arrogance is showing.


I would have said ignorance

My dog is an expert communicator. Forget the code requirement.
Do you have a EE degree? If not, you don't have the sense of
a blind billy goat.

Any idiot can learn code. Not everyone can understand theory enough to make
it usable in day to day practice. I submit that SC is the "any idiot".

Since when was talking as in Phone SSB not
"communication". Sure code is fine, but most of
us learned to key "mama" long after we learned to
say it

Any 12 year old can learn code in 2 weeks. Getting rid of it would not
dumb down Ham radio at all. Code is a good thing to know. Whether you
use it or not is a personal preference. I think programming you're own
software to send code yourself and building your own radio is a lot more
technical than learning code.

But people don't want to be skilled at anything anymore. They don't want
to make an effort to learn CW, they may not make an effort to learn other
things to advance themselves technically either.
