: Slow Code wrote: wrote in news ![]() How does one say mayday on CW? My radio only works on the bottom 25 KHz of the HF bands. then you are a porrly equiped ham and should turn your license in for the good of the ars http://kb9rqz.blogspot.com/ I am fairly well equipped: IC-756 Pro III, IC-746, AL-80B amplifier, ANC-4 noise canceller, MFJ 1025 Signal enhancer, TS-570D, AMP SUPPLY LK-450 Amplifier, G-707 [2 & 440], plus computer ... and these are the things on my operating table. IC-706 MKIIg & AH-4 in the mobile. Plus 2 HTs. then you are a lying in claiming your radio only work on the bottom 25 khz WOW Mark, And you're not even a Real ham. There is this pithy little thing I found in the ARRL Handbook: The Amateur's Code ------------------ The Radio Amateur is CONSIDERATE...never knowingly operates in such a way as to lessen the pleasure of others. LOYAL.........offers loyalty, encouragement and support to other amateurs, local clubs, and the American Radio Relay League, through which Amateur Radio in the United States is represented nationally and internationally. PROGRESSIVE...with knowledge abreast of science, a well-built and efficient station and operation above reproach. FRIENDLY......slow and patient operating when requested; friendly advice and counsel to the beginner; kindly assistance, cooperation and consideration for the interests of others. These are the hallmarks of the amateur spirit. BALANCED......radio is an avocation, never interfering with duties owed to family, job, school or community. PATRIOTIC.....station and skill always ready for service to country and community. --The original Amateur's Code was written by Paul M. Segal, W9EEA, in 1928. Kind of old, and flavored a lot like the US was during the time, but never-the-less, it has some important lessons in behavior and compassion that seem to be lacking in your vision for the hobby. -Chuck Harris Thanks for posting that chuck. I've never broken any of those on the air or on usenet. Maybe now Markie and everyone else will see why CW is important. Thanks again and Keep up the good work. 73 de Slow Code |

Thanks again and Keep up the good work. 73 de Slow Code You need to read them again SC. You break them daily on usenet. You're not considerate. You're down right unfriendly to some and You're about unprogressive as they come. 73 Chris You think that's bad? Wait until HF sounds 11 meters and you can't find a decent contact anywhere. You'll see I was right. I crawled out of my hole around restructuring time. Then the ARRL and FCC screwed ham radio. I went back in my hole again. Now the FCC and it appears with the blessings of the ARRL is planning to toss CW all together. I come out of my hole to fight for the integrity of ham radio once again, but when the R&O comes out eliminating CW, I'll crawl back into my hole again. Leaving you and everyone else the problem of trying to deal with poor behavior and operating practice on the bands. The result of dumbing down licensing. Outcome based education doesn't work, what makes you think outcome based licensing will? SC |

Outcome based education doesn't work, what makes you think outcome based licensing will? SC You still won't acknowledge your poor behavior that really hurts your cause. Chris You choosing to disagree with a pro-coder doesn't constitute poor behavior on my part. How's your code practice coming along? Are you going to stick with it, or are you going to be one of them un-skilled hams. SC |
