you screwed up and mentioned something modern

Facts are to socialists what crosses are to vampires


Top nations that fund UN treasury,
in descending order...

United States: 22%
Japan: 19.6%
Germany: 9.8%
France: 6.5%
UK: 5.6%
Italy 5.1%
Canada: 2.6%
Spain: 2.5%

Russia isn't even in this top 8 list.
France, Russia and Germany, COMBINED,
do not contribute as much to the UN as
does the United States......

The last CW coder who died was sentenced
to Hell for eternity in order to transmit
6 Megapixels 24-bit color pictures in CW.

God bless you from CW !

Clint:

In exactly what way is transmitting 6 megapixel color images using
CW "applicable in the real world?" I'm an avid CW operator, but I've
never heard of any way to do that using Morse code. However, since
you seem to think you're some sort of technical genius, I guess
you've got it figured out!

BTW -- if I'm "trapped in 1952" -- the year I was born, BTW, why isn't
a gallon of gasoline selling for 24 cents? Damn those time traps --
they're never around when you need them!

Gee, you got us there, Clint. All of us knuckle-dragging CW'ers are just
caught in a time warp. We don't know a thing about modern communications
technology. Gosh, I'll bet you can tell me all about the "new" technologies
like SATLink, VTC Scottie, trunked spread spectrum FM and closed networking,
right? Not that I'd ever use all that stuff at work or anything ... right?

Yes.

We don't know a thing about modern communications technology.

Not enough to indicate you "know" them.

Memorizing the latest advertisements in QST is not enough.

Gosh, I'll bet you can tell me all about the "new" technologies

right?

Indicate TRUE proof of your involvement with those.

You aren't even in SHARES.

The only ALE you are in is at the local pub.

This shouldn't take long. I shall use short words with few syllables so
that you can understand what I had said. Obviously you flew over it
without any REAL discrimination to the actual wording.

I never claimed you COULD send that with CW.
What I was saying is that the majority of the CW-using crowd is
trapped in a time warp that keeps them set back 30 years or so
(evident by thier "hell bent for leather" desire to keep cw testing
around), and wouldn't understand the concept of anything modern
(such as updating the various requirements in ham radio).

and, likewise, the cost of living along with the average wages were
considerably less.

My advice, in the future, is to think before you talk, lest your
foot winds up in your mouth and you look silly.

if your stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt."

[ transmitting a 6 mega-pixel image]

Well, actually, you _could_. I don't have all the tech stuff handy
to determine just how large a 6 mega-pixel 24-bit color image would actually
_be_, so let's just call it a 6 megabyte file, making it, what, 48 million
bits? Now, how many bits in a 'word' of Morse, average? A dozen, maybe? So,
sending at, let's say, 20 wpm gives us a hypothetical bit-rate of 240
bits/min or 4 bits/sec, so we come out with a mere 12 million seconds to
transmit the image (I _swear_ I did not intend for that answer to come out
that simple!).
It would only take 138.88 days.....

Clint my man .....you should have followed your own advice and not posted
that glittering generality of a Mongolian Cluster ...... I really think your
are able to do better than that pathetic attempt to ruffle the CWist's
feathers ... The fellows who I know who operate CW do so in addition to
digital modes and various ones at that. I don't operate HF fone for various
reasons but I can say in all honesty that the primary reason is that I talk
all day. It is a refreshing break for me to get on an avocal mode and
communicate with a fellow ham ....but Clint I know you also never operate
fone as you know the superiority of digital modes and the inherent moderness
therein.
