CW IS ham radio. bullshit
"Rayburn" wrote in message ... I learned CW.....Got really good at it and wound up at almost 30 wpm......Then got bored and havent used it in ten years. I have no use for it anymore whatsoever! I dont care if they ban it or not....I could care less. As an Extra class op with 38 years as a ham I do what I want when I want to. The big difference between you and I is , I have a callsign , and I'm not afraid to use it ;-D Ace - WH2T |

Smoke signals are not dependent on electricity. You can use a match or rub two sticks together. This is the only reliable way of passing messages when all else fails. Dear MP, Please pull your friggen head out of your ass and use your brain for once. Smoke signals are a line of sight form of communication and you can't see them at night unless the fire is extremely large, and smoke signals don't work well in natural disasters like huricanes and tornados. Blind people can't see them either, they can only smell the smoke. CW works well all the time, unless you're too lazy or dumb to learn it. In which case you'll probably want to stick to playing with your matches and smoke bombs. SC If you want to go slightly higher tech you could use a Heliograph. Of course they don't work at night either or on a cloudy day but the signal can be directed like a beam antenna. Dave N |

Dave N These CW vs The World arguments are amusing, kind of like old programmers claimimg BASIC is the only way to go, or old database guys who would claim that flatfile databases are better than SQL. tom K0TAR |

In a lot of areas - the FIRE DEPTS. don't approve of OPEN BURNINGS - so
I guess that means that you would have to get the local fire depts. blessing prior to your disaster to use smoke! Reference to the subject - if one did not want to use pure CW (if there is a mental or physical block from learning it) - there are other digital signals that could be used, i.e.:PSK31, etc. Other line of site communications could be - focused white light beams, Lasers, flags, etc. I think the real issue is that you and some of your friends are just plain against CW, (and you want to turn everybody else in that same direction), you don't use it, you don't want to learn it, etc. If that is the case, then why don't you just drop it - QUIT NAGGING LIKE AN OLD LADY - and go onto some other subject or project? 73's snip |

Hey: Everybody knows if you were in a plane crash and the mic for your vhf am radio broke, you could always key the transmitter and send morse to convey your SOS. So, what you propose is very logical, also have the radio operator learn smoke signals! Then, if not only the mic was busted, but also the radio itself was busted, you could build a fire, take your coat and send your SOS! John, you are forgetting basic theory: All electronics works by means of smoke. If the smoke leaks out, it won't work! LA :-) |
