Morse code is horse and buggy technology. If you want to pass a vehicle driving test maybe you should learn to ride a horse to obtain it? Well, I learned to ride a horse before the age of 8. I was plowing on a John Deere by 10. The same thing could be said about Morse. Yes, it is old. But *if* radio should fail (terrorists, infrastructure, etc) then CW can get thru when others fail. I learned it before there was a hint of doing away with code for any license class, I still will know it if it goes away, and, yes, I can still ride a horse. Like CW horses are fun and no reason for me to have to do either at present. But if I need to I can. J You never know when all the oil will dry up and you need to mount a horse to get to work. Listen to the morse code bands in the USA the signals are few and far. 3.600-3.725 MHz is a vast wasteland of morse code bandwidth that is hardly used. -- The Radio Page Ham, Police Scanner, Shortwave and more. http://www.kilowatt-radio.org/ |
