You'll probably never have to use CW to save a life, but you should learn it anyway just in case. Ham radio is like a spare tire, when you need it you hope it's not flat. CW is like the air in the tire. I know I don't ever want to hear someone say: "Why couldn't you get help, I though hams were supposed to know morse code." Sc |

You've insisted on posting this crap so many times just about anyone
with more than two or three brain cells would be sick of it by now. Why don't you just crawl back under the rock you crawled out from under? At this point, even a relative moron should get the point that there are a bunch of people that really don't give a damn about CW. That you do is not the point, but your continual posts about it are the point. Therefore, your continual posts lead me to believe you should be seeking mental help. If you don't think you need therapy, how about you get a life and if you are so Pro-CW, why aren't you on the bands right now? Though I'm an Extra and passed the CW requirements shouldn't make a difference if I choose to operate phone. If the requirements change and new Hams aren't required to take the code test, am I going to be ****ed? Hell no, because I took the tests when I did because I wanted to be a productive part of this hobby, not wait for an easier ticket in. I learned it, just as a huge number of others have, but none of us wish to push it like you seem to want to. Even the most die-hard CW fanatic is spending his time on the bands, not on the internet trolling for arguments. Now, to provide a response to your query: It is extremely unlikely that with all the means we have for contact in the case of an emergency, that CW would be the only way to make contact, particularly if you live in anything near an urban evironment in mainland US. First and foremost, there has to be someone else that will respond to you, and given the things going on with the hobby lately, I doubt that CW will be the safety net you'd like to believe it is. For myself, I have HF and VHF in both the house and vehicle, and have the VHF radios all programmed with all of the local police and fire frequencies. In a true emergency, I wouldn't lose a moment's time worrying about whether it was legal or not before I keyed up on a public service/fire/police frequency if it meant saving somebody. Would CW help? Not very damn likely, as first I'd have to key up the HF rig, get to someone that could relay, pass a message, hope like hell that they actually did call the proper authority, (and were believed), and so on. You can bet I'll get attention right away if I key up on any of the public service frequencies, and they damn well will respond, if for no other reason than to find me. If that's what it takes, so be it, they can fight it out in court later, and I'd get so much media attention they wouldn't dare push it very far. On the other hand, the likelihood of actually being believed using standard, HF and CW procedures, or getting help in a timely manner to actually save a life is an extremely remote chance... I rarely filter anyone, but you've definitely earned the "plonk" of being filtered.

I happen to be in a position whereby I work in law enforcement and have more that one HT in the home charger, said HTs being on the local PD freqs. Save a life? CW? Not hardly! That is a moot argument, one with no merit save for the spammers who wish to continue the thread for their own, selfish entertainment. In an emergency I use one of the HTs. They work even when the cell phone service is out. In a true emergency, CW is not fast enough. It is archaic. It simply doesn't cut the proverbial mustard. Keep a Marine battery on hand and keep it charged. One can work any number of radios from that. 'Nuff said. |

I do happen to know the morse code. At one time I could do 30 wpm.
But the chance that I shall see, in my lifetime, someone drowning in a river when I have with me a battery-operated transmitter, a receiver, an antenna, ground spike, and a morse key is about one in 10,000,000,000. I would be far more likely to plug in the microphone. In any case, by the time I had got the gear fixed up and made a suitable contact, the poor victim could have floated out into the Atlantic Ocean. It would be a good idea to dump the equipment and run downstream along the river bank to the nearest safety belt. ---- Reg. |
