Now that Bruce Parens and NCI have won the CW wars, what will happen
to the exclusive CW allocations if a CW requirement is dropped?
Certainly there can be no argument for keeping the current band
structure in place, and phone operations probably ought to be spread
out into what was once exclusively reserved for CW operators. Not
only would this alleviate the congestion in the phone bands, but it
would finally and officially place CW into perspective: Just another
optional mode of operation without any exclusive rights to any
frequency.

Well, folks, there it is -- as I've been saying for years, it's all about
getting a microphone in hand and yakking away!

What's the difference between yakking using a microphone, or yakking using a
CW key or paddle?

Kim:

Don't look now, but yakking into a microphone is something that anyone
can do without learning any new communications skills. Use of Morse/CW
requires the acquisition of a new, very useful comm skill (Morse code) and
the patience and initiative to develop this skill adequately to become an
efficient, effective CW operator. The content of the "yakking" may be the
same, but the difference is that the CW operator is yakking in a totally
different way, using a skill and mode which offers benefits and advantages
not found in voice modes.

Since you have no practical on-the-air experience using CW, I don't
expect you to appreciate this, and consider you to be unqualified to
render an opinion on the subject.

On that note, we're still waiting for your opinion on eating elephant
dung - good idea or bad?

John,

Many years ago one of the popular magazines (Sat Eve Post, Colliers,
Readers Digest?) had a reader-contributed feature called "The Perfect
Squelch". Your comment above would surely have been a winner!

Except for dung beetles! There was a good Nova program on them. Glad I
didn't have to do the camera work.

Bad. Very bad, indeed. Personally, I wouldn't do that. Your mileage
may vary.

I presume you have practical experience eating elephant dung on which
you base that opinion. I know you wouldn't express an opinion if you
weren't qualified to render one...right?

John:

I've had the experience of smelling elephant dung, and since the sense
of smell is directly related to the sense of tast, my "experience" made me
realize that the elephant dung would not make for a particularly
wholesome and appetizing meal. OTOH, people who have never learned
and used Morse code have no alternative experience from which to base
their objections to code testing, since they haven't learned, first-hand, of
it's operational benefits and advantages. The "elephant dung" argument
is purely apples-to-oranges.

Tastes like crap. So I would recommend against it......

I'm OTOH, haven't a clue as to what elephant dung tastes like, and I
intend to keep it that way! However, since Bob has obviously tasted
elephant dung, I will admit that he is qualified to evaluate it's taste. I
will,
from now on, defer to his judgment of the taste of elephant dung.
