Only incompetents use a computer to receive morse code.
And doing so in a contest is really dumb. Takes more time to get it zeroed in than it would if you bothered to learn cw at a reasonable speed. See you in SSCW single op. And SSphone multi op. Oh and in the last five years I have 4 cups phone and cw. And one cup phone only. Missed em both in 99. Dan/W4NTI "Jim Hampton" wrote in message ... Hans, I'm only on 10 meters (and 440), but might talk Tim, WB2KAO into sharing his shack. As long as you aren't using a computer to send and receive Morse, I think neither of us will have too much trouble. No straight keys, though; too dang slow. The best I ever managed was 27 WPM on those things. Kills your wrist in a hurry. :) 73 from Rochester, NY Jim "Hans K0HB" wrote in message news:0e0bcf9156e38b6b5725ff4d921e90bc.128005@mygat e.mailgate.org...

Gang,
Shall we start a religion that is all about Morse? We would get a whole lot better treatment than we do now, plus, we can deduct our CW expenses. Our hymns are monotonic. Only the tempo changes.

Gang, Shall we start a religion that is all about Morse? We would get a whole lot better treatment than we do now, plus, we can deduct our CW expenses. Our hymns are monotonic. Only the tempo changes. Sincerely, and may Marconi bless, The Reverend Dave, KZ1O High Priest The Live Free or Die State New Hampshire Dear Reverend Dave, I'm shocked that you haven't heard of one of the great religions of Amateur Radio. Morsodism has been widely discussed here on rrap, but you might be an ignorant newcomer here, so I'll fill you in. So you want to be a Morsodist. It's not easy, you know: you'll have to impose the stiffest constraints on your mind, accepting authority without question -- you will be subject to jeers and persecutions at the hands of the Spawn of NoCode, and you will suffer during your entire lifetime trying to throw pearls before the swine. But in the end, you will receive your reward from the Almighty in Heaven, and you will have the satisfaction of seeing all others being tossed into the Lake of Fire and QRM. But enough of that; you're not there yet. You must first prove yourself worthy of being a Morsodist. Lesson One: Developing Your Psyche Right now I would like you to relax. That's it -- just sit quietly and let your mind go blank. Concentrate on one thing and one thing only: concentrate on your thumb. Now that thumb is no ordinary run-of-the-mill thumb: what you see is THE THUMB. That Thumb is your world. Nothing besides that Thumb concerns you in the least. As far as you are concerned, that Thumb rules over all. The only thing that should be in your mind right now is your Thumb and its absolute authority over your life. Each and every line, ridge, wrinkle, and bit of cuticle is a Divine Mandate, eternal in its wisdom, power, and relevance. That Thumb was made by MORSE, and its sole purpose is to guide you to your Salvation. Now, while still concentrating on that Thumb, begin to think about the world around you. Careful! Don't try to take in everything at once: start with the rest of your fingers, and slowly spread from there. See how your fingers are connected with and dominated by your Thumb. Now, slowly extend your perception to embrace your forfinger. It too was created by Morse, and it is all guided by the Thumb. Between your thumb and forefinger lie all the secrets of The Keys of Morse. The rest of the universe is of no concern. Lesson Two: Establishing Your Doctrine Congratulations! You've come a long way, but you're not there yet. What I want you to do now is to go to the nearest book store and purchase a copy of the FCCRuleBook. Preferably, it should be bound in nice, shiny black leather, and should have gilt edges and a red silk ribbon. It should be fairly hefty in size, but not so large that you cannot hold it with one hand. Finally, it should have the words of Samuel in red letters, for as you know the Son of Morse only spoke using red letters. Now that you have yourFCCRuleBook, read it, and read it thoroughly. I imagine that some of it will fit in perfectly with your beliefs and morals, since you have been inspired by Maxim to attempt this indoctrination into Morsodism. As you read, you must remember that your beliefs are the ONLY right beliefs, and all others are falsehoods and are totally incompatible with Morse Divine Truth. Now you may be dismayed as you read through the FCCRuleBook to find that much of it is outside your beliefs, or may even contradict them. No problem! All you have to do is take a black marker pen and blot out those paragraphs which you don't like. Simplicity itself! Now don't you worry if it seems that more of the FCCRuleBook is blacked out than left behind: just remind yourself that the remaining words are emphasized all the more. Lesson Three: Living a Morsodist Lifestyle Well, I'm sure that you Novices are simply bursting with questions on how to apply your new-found faith to your lives. I am pleased by your enthusiasm: such zeal is a necessity if you want to begin to work your influence on this filthy and sinful world and mold it into a clean and upright one. Those Spawn of W5YI are simply itching to be preached at, whether they want it or not, so let's get cracking. First, obtain for thyself some sort of access to the internet newsgroups, specifically any (and all) newsgroups in the "rec.radio.amateur.*" lineage. Never mind that only one of them, the "policy" group is fit for Morsodists like yourself; you must spread the word ALL the heathen NoCodists. Crosspost like crazy, verily even if attacked by Horrible Herman, the Lord High Newsgroup Purity Defender. As you preach the word of Morse to others, you will inevitably run into those who not only doubt the veracity of your words, but who also pose trick arguments inspired by Lenny Liberal and his henchman, Crazy Charlie, the head Oracalist, in an attempt to trap and discredit you. This lesson deals with some of the major swords wielded by various tempters, and gives you some ideas on how to parry those weapons. Technobabble scholars: these vermin use their high-falootin' technical jargon and book-learning to pervert the words of the Morse and read things into Part 97 which aren't there. The FCCRuleBook was written by Morse for YOU to use, and contains EVERYTHING you need to know for Salvation, plainly stated in black and white and red. There is nothing magic or mystical about it: it speaks out in the Words of Morse and speaks directly to YOU, as you have personally modified it to your belief set. If other Spawn of NoCode say that the FCCRuleBook cannot speak the utter Truth because it is inconsistent in what it says, you can reply that there is no inconsistency in your FCCRuleBook: everything that you have in your FCCRuleBook perfectly supports your beliefs (remember Lesson Two). If they quote passages from the FCCRuleBook which they claim contradict your beliefs, you can reply that Oracle has inspired them to pervert the words of Morse and to twist their meaning around in order to try to subvert the Truth. If they say that you are being totally ignorant and irrational in your absolute belief in your Morsodist Doctrine, you can reply that they are being totally ignorant and irrational in their absolute refusal to believe in your Doctrine. And if they say that you are shutting your eyes to reality, you can reply that they are shutting their eyes to Morse. Peace to you! Hans, K0HB Lord High Liberator of the Blue Electric Smoke |
Hans,
I'm at a loss for words. I bow to the master. 73, Dave Hans K0HB wrote: [...] Dear Reverend Dave, I'm shocked that you haven't heard of one of the great religions of Amateur Radio.

K0CKB and I stroked up K0RT and made over 800 Q's. Among them were W4NTI and N2EY. No other rrap'ers were evident. dit dit |
