Just off the news: Computer grid operator in Ohio at the beginnining of the Big Blackout, in response to an inquiry:: "Our computers are all acting up, too! We don't even know the status of the stuff around us!" Yep, lets all put ALL our faith and confidence in Karl and his Komplete Komputerized Kommunications Konsortium!! What are you ranting about? There's a whole spectrum of modes between CW and PSK31 that don't require computers. And besides, the power distribution system isn't using amateur radio anyhow. Sheesh! |

He's ranting about all the great engineers that are frothing at the mouth to get into Ham Radio but can't because of the "CW Boogie Man". Just what we need, more "rocket scientists".

I think that he misses the good ole days when messages were delivered
by the Pony Express. Back then, you didn't have to worry about traffic jams. You just had to watch your step. |

It goes kind of like..."I can't say anything intelligent, but you mispelled a word so I have to be right." Posts get the attention that they deserve. In your case, it's pretty close to nun. There, you feel more "right" now? |

There, you feel more "right" now? Well Bob, I will always feel more right for several reasons, most of which are well beyond your ability to comprehend.
