No one has ever said that the purpose of hams knowing code was to hear a ship sending an SOS. wrong again Dee Flint amny have said exactly that wether you have ever been amoug them In addition, he might have a light rigged for cw, which he could see as he moved about the room. backpedal Digital modes fail on a regular basis due to static, auroras, etc. they do How many times, say during Katrina did this occour or for that matter name an insitance where digital mode failed , in an emergency and Cw encoded morse got through and saved the day It's a good idea to have a non-voice, non-computer alternative. why? a clear alternive is to increase the over all number of stations to decrease the chance that progation will fail to devlier the message some where and How does CW testing produce a working CW listening station Dee Flint, N8UZE |

"DrDeath" wrote in message ... "Steveo" wrote in message LOL, I sure have no interest in CW. I must still be young :-P The highest level of interest for learning the code is among the young. then based on the seenses at VE testing Morse Code is truly doomed why is it that you want tot eh ARS to go down with it?

Recently I can across a "music" track that is about 5 minutes long that teaches Morse by the sound of the characters. If you would find this helpful I may be able to get a copy of it and place it on an ftp server for you. Regards David not clear who you are addresing but this method get tried on most dyslexics and rarely works why gald I asked becuase most dyslexcs ebd up doing the easier for us task on meoris 5 minutes of letter (learn though correcting our efforts at the end) rather managing to sort of the tone In Dyslexia, ones is up against one own brain and the methods one has learned to work around the misfiring nurons most dyslexic learn very effectve methods of dealing with, and the btter the devolped method is the harder it is to defeat. Code testing tries to channel one down a path of limited choices |

Typing and reading are visually based. So it makes sense that those are
a problem. But do you have difficulty saying words or hearing them? Just because the typing is a problem, doesn't mean that the aural/spoken is a problem. Reading/writing is a different activity than hearing/speaking and uses different parts of the brain. While I can't imagine a graphical method working for a dyslexic since it's visual, who can say for sure. you claim to have certain knowledge of whta is and isn't possible you are probably correct. linguistics is mainly concerned with spoken language, not written. in some languages like English, you'll note that people kind of speak the words out in their brain. other languages like Mandarin seem to be converted directly from characters into ideas. ok, what burns me up is people claiming they can't learn code. there are languages that are tonal, configurational, have bizarre sounds, that put the object before the subject, that have thousands of characters. 99% of the planet learns their native language! code is NOT that different than a language. if you must, you can interpret it as tones, and simply write out the tones on a piece of paper and decode them.

By the way, I still have problems with longer characters now and then or
combinations of certain characters. I had an awful time trying to copy a call sign in a contest that began with SH5 (3 dots, 4 dots, 5 dots). and you dare claim it must be doable by everyone else same here! i have trouble with high speed B, 6, 1, J. however, you can create a practice regimen that focuses on these. a trick for contests might be using a spectrograph or MFJ viewer. good luck.

uh, if you are deserted on an island with a few buckets of electronics junk, your best bet is CW. if you a prisoner of war, CW could be invaluable in getting a message out. there are many other cases where CW can be used in channels that don't support audio. i am a superior creature because i know CW! ;-) Gravity |

I am a superior creature because I know the NECA code, as CW will not pay
your bills. i'm a professional contester! (it violates the rules, but we do it anyway.) Gravity |
