![]() "Slow Code" wrote in message link.net... If an amateur had to relay a through a country and the amateurs didn't know each other language they still could have passed it by CW and the message could have been delivered to someone that could read it. Not no more. When things start failing communication wise worldwide, amateur radio might be all there is to relay messages, and the ITU just removed one of the legs of a three leg stool. The pro-code arguments seem to be getting sillier and sillier. I am a know-coder. I enjoy it. CW is my primary mode. I encourage others to join in. I do not believe for one minute that CW is going to save the world. I am not sure the FCC should be requiring it while not testing for the various digital modes or message handling - seems inconsistent SC |

His constant bullcrap on here makes me sick. Its ok to state your opinion and move on but he has a real problem. I mean posting every day in rec.radio.swap for Christ sake. For someone so worried about people doing the right thing he is the worst example. |

For someone so worried about people doing the right thing he is the worst example. Well, at least I educated you about top posting, and you are almost doing things the correct way now. I suppose that I should begin teaching you and others about TRIMMING your followups in order to make your posts easier to read. It's all there in the news.answers FAQs too, but lots of people haven't read the material. The full content of all previous posts doesn't need to be quoted, because people have threaded newsreaders and can go back to read earlier posts without your help. Also, you'll save on that precious downloading time of which some of you spoke. People like Len Anderson and Dave Heil really need to learn how to TRIM their followups if they want anyone to read them. I'll be checking back from time to time to see how you are doing. It looks to me like you're progressing well. There's definitely hope for you, so keep your chin up. SC |

Broadcast stations no longer need licensed personnel on duty (that's been the case for a few decades now), you can repair two-way radios without being licensed and you can operate on the ham bands without having to really pass any test. |

till you can explain what value knowing the name has you can begin to convince me that you went a through a test as realavant as mine The licensing hierarchy (and the morse code debate) isn't about value, it's about status. It's about having a chip on your shoulder that says "I'm better than you". |
