Look at it this way Bruce. It will rid the CW segements of useless trash.
They will all be on SSB. Digital will also be safe because that requires
some intelligence to set up and operate a program. Thus elliminating most
to all of the dumbed down hamsters.

Of course it will be a proccess of attrition in the CW field. Eventually
there will be no one left.

I worry about that as much as I care about 'global warming'. I won't be
here that long.

Oh BTW with the bands so sorry (SFI 97) I notice there is basically NILL
action on SSB. But I hear lots of CW stuff....wonder why that is?

It's because people convince themselves the bands are dead and don't
transmit. If nobody transmits, then there's no-one to work. Granted the
bands are poor, but the WAE contest, for example, showed it up as a self-
fulfilling prophecy.

If enough people say that conditions are too poor for SSB some people will
be daft enough to beleive it.
