Roger No-Code Technician- KC8MZW The was a time astronauts were skilled an knew CW. ?? Did you mean to write: 'There was a time when astronauts were skilled and knew Morse Code.' ? If so, let's add some other fun facts: None of the Mercury, Gemini or Apollo astronauts was a ham. If they knew Morse Code, it was because of their pre-NASA military training as pilots. We've had noncodetested Technicians as astroanuts since 1991 - almost 16 years ago. What's the problem? Are you just now beginning to figure this out? None of the spacecraft communications systems use Morse Code or HF. They're all above 30 MHz. As for being skilled - let's just say that all the astronauts have quite an impressive skill set. Could you do what they do? I think not. |
