It hasn't been disproved to me, but then again, I have a lot of experience using BOTH Morse/CW and a variety of digital modes, so I have seen for myself that the saying "Morse gets through when everything else fails" is apparently true. I have had many operating sessions when PSK-31 signals became useless, while I was still able to communicate in CW. In fact, a lot of times, I've been able to identify PSK-31 signals only when the CW ID came on after the station stopped sending! However, anyone with an Anti-Morse/CW agenda will not be convinced of that. 73 de Larry, K3LT |
