So who do you think Slow Code is? Kelly? Coslo? Deignan?

I haven't the slightest idea.

Well, I know "Slow Code" is not me.

Beyond that, he could be anybody with a computer and an internet
connection. "Slow Code" could be Len Anderson, who has used at least
seven different screen names here - that we know of.

How many screen names have you used here - that you know of?

"Slow Code" could
be Brian Burke, N0IMD,

Slow Code could be Jim/N2EY, despite protests that it isn't him.
Ditto Robesin, Coslo, Bruce, Dan, Larry Roll, or anyone else who
"appears" to be absent from RRAP.

Mark in the Dark.

He can keep building his code skills to make himself a better operator.

Why does everyone only want to do the minimum and not improve. It's
because they're lazy. They don't care to be good communicators, all they
want is a hand-out license that doesn't require skill or knowledge. If
that's what they want they should have stayed on CB.

Again, the pro-coders only equate code speed with being a good
operator. Amateur radio has only a single dimension for them - CW on
HF. Their attitude is bankrupting amateur radio.

be fair they equate Code and some even promote code acuratcy

The late Dick Carrol/W0EX prided himself on being able to send code so
poorly that even a computer code reader couldn't copy him. This was in
order to prevent unworthy No-Code Technicians from eavesdropping on
him.

BTW, all the other Pro-Code Extras were good with it, coming up with
cool, old-timey sounding excuses for such bad behavoir. "Banana Boat
Swing" and "unique fist" were heard. A ham needn't try to produce CW
that meets the Morse Code specification for dots, dashes,
inter-dot/dash spacing, inter-character spacing, and inter-word spacing.

That was plain stupid. There's no need to try to send deliberately bad
code. Only the finest operators can send code well enough with a hand key
that a computer can copy it anyway. Only exceptionally good operators can
send well enough with a bug that a computer can copy it. Only very good
operators can send well enough with paddles that computers can copy it.
Basically a computer is good at copying computer generated code.

The "Banana Boat Swing" and "unique fist" existed long, long before
computers came along. These were simply operators with poor sending skills.
And they are a pain in the ear and brain to copy. I usually move on rather
than respond to them.

In a way, so do I.

I wished he wouldn't get so upset and accept that he wasn't going to
change my mind.

At least a difference of opinion with Dick didn't make someone a liar.

He was pro-code but he wasn't trollish like me or WA8ULX were.

I believe in CW, but I'm not as Ruthless as I sound. I love to toss out
things and then listen to everyone gasp. ROFL. I know, I know, it's
sadistic...

but it's fun, and maybe some will see and figure out the point of it.

At least you admit you're nothing but a troll. A useless low life peice
of nothing troll.

Yes you are. You hate everyone who isn't like you. You are the biggest
bigot around.

You love to try and **** off the world and you do a good job.

ROFL.

Don't you mean rolling on the floor drunk in your own filth!!

Yup, I've heard you're into that know.

but it's fun, and maybe some will see and figure out the point of it.

Theres no point to what you do and if you think there is you are truely
ready for the sanitarium.

Improving your skills doesn't make you a better operator? Sheeesh.

You can still have your microphone, but you should have to pass a code
test before you're allowed to use it. I like 5 WPM for Tech, 13 for
General, and 20wpm for Extra, but then, I'm not lazy.
