Bottom line is its too tough to actually try to learn something for these whiners. It really is pathetic. No, it's pathetic that some judge themselves, and others, based on something as outdated as Morse Code/CW. This was designed for communications in the early 1900's. By the late 1900's, it's usefullness as a communications mode had almost entirely disappeared. Today, it has no substantial use other than recreation. As such, it has no value as a license exam requirement. To claim otherwise simply because you've built a self-identity around that mode is truely pathetic. In the end, look at yourselves before you start talking about what is pathetic. The two of you (Dan and Larry) sound like a couple of tired old CB'ers still arguing that D-104 microphones and tube-type linears were better as you sit around humming the tune to the movie "Convoy." You're too old to raise hell in real life anymore, so you instead sit around trying to raise hell in this newsgroup, patting each other on the backs for the imagined value of your skill while the rest of the world continues to pass you by. Most Code/CW users understand the changing times and simply enjoy Code/CW for what it is - one more enjoyable operating mode in the rich diversity of Amateur Radio. Too bad you two can't come to grips with that. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |
