This cannot be, for no one wants to take anything away from Morse code

Why not, 8 years ago, the Arrl did a survey. They asked amateurs who had
passed a morse code exam if they EVER used morse code. Two out of three
responded "no". I.e. 2/3's of the hams surveyed NEVER used morse code.

Of course in those days they spun it as "1 out 3 sometimes uses morse

code".

So if it came to a vote you'd have a hard time keeping things as they

are.

Geoff.

The ARRL had a new survey in the last 6 months. Half of the respondants

use

morse any where from occasionally to 100% of the time. Morse code usage
appears to be on the rise. In the past year, participation in the ARRL
Morse contests showed an increase of 20% over the previous year.
Participation in the voice contests was practically the same as last year
with virtually no growth.

So that 8 year old survey does not reflect today's situation.

Forget it Dee. You cant convince the no coder. They believe their own
propaganda.

What I would like to know is where are our NCI buddies? Aren't they
against this sort of thing? Where is Carl jumping to our defense? Bill
Sohl? Where have ya gone, Joe DiMaggio?

Now that Bruce Parens and NCI have won the CW wars, what will happen
to the exclusive CW allocations if a CW requirement is dropped?
Certainly there can be no argument for keeping the current band
structure in place, and phone operations probably ought to be spread
out into what was once exclusively reserved for CW operators. Not
only would this alleviate the congestion in the phone bands, but it
would finally and officially place CW into perspective: Just another
optional mode of operation without any exclusive rights to any
frequency.

If this is the case, then Morse code has a good future. No need to
worry that you
won't be able to find someone to have a QSO when you do a CQ.


Its not a problem for a couple of decades anyway. As soon as the 'flood' of
no code braindeads show up on phone...CW will be so full you can't get a
beep in.

Hans,

I might *gently* remind folks that there are no limitations on CW either :))

....what will happen to the exclusive CW allocations....

Except in the USA, most amateurs do not labor under "sub-bands" based on
mode. As an example Canadian amateur have no such restrictions. It's a
source of continuing wonder to me that the FCC continues to arbitrarily
slice and dice the bands based on mode, license class, power levels, and
similar artificial constructs of their imagination.

PS: There are no "exclusive CW allocations" below 50MHz.

Not a problem...let all the no code braindeads have phone. I'll just run cw
on top of them with my narrow filter.

We already do that. They're never get it.

Can't you see this guy with a key? No wonder people on the other
end never "get it." He can't even construct a meaningful sentence!

And he's talking about jamming other operators to boot! Ain't CW
operators a cut above the rest? (not)

Jamming? How can I be jamming if Im dead zero beat and you dont hear a
thing? IDIOT.

Dan/W4NTI

Man, it's a damned good thing that you CW operators will soon be put in your
place by the FCC. Just nothing but a bunch of jammers. Pitiful lids. It's
time you were put in your places.


They are only "jamming" for milliseconds. :

If you interefere with another licensed amateur's transmissions, you are
an illegal jammer IDIOT!!!

Zero beat or not (and I'll bet you aren't smart enough to really do that),
any act of willful interference which causes receiver desensing or any
other
kind of problem is AGAINST THE LAW.

IDIOT!!

Nothing to worry about. You wont recognize cw if it bit you on the ass.
That is obvious from your stupid comments.

Oh and BTW...what makes you think because CW testing will be ended that CW
itself will be ended? You really are a stupid idiot ain't ya?
