I guess CW is more valued than ALL OF THE OTHER MODES COMBINED! Not so. However, all the digital and image modes are merely a matter of connecting the radio to the computer and running the appropriate software. Then why do the military service have technical schools to do somehting so very simple? I guess it is because of the raw material they have to work with. Always a kind word for our armed forced... Why aren't the communications billets merely a direct duty assignment after basic training? They can be. That's how I did it. I never set foot in an Air Force technical school. Of course I'd already been a radio amateur for seven years when I joined the military. I was awarded my 3-level right out of basic training. I went directed duty to Barksdale AFB after ten days of leave after Amarillo. Lackland. San Antonio. Did you catch what Robesin's got? Whole government agencies gave up on code. Commercial businesses gave up on code. Oracle uses a lot of code. Dave K8MN Is Oracle an Extra? What's his call? |
