Yes, it is. The image is not complimentary. Would you like the written
tests
described that way?

So are phrases like

"waste valuable time learning Morse"
"dinosaur/buggywhip technology"

Would you like your favorite modes described that way?

You must have
REALLY thin skin Hans.

In my experience Hans does not have a 'thin skin' at all.


Hey Jim you forgot the "old manual transmission saw" ....BTW I can't wait
for all the leaps and bounds in growth of the service once CW testing is
gone. I would venture to say that at least a half a dozen new modes will be
created within a few months now that all of those EEs will be "activated".
I would even say that I would have to eat crow as no doubt within 1 year a
mode will be discovered that "will always get through". On the serious side
....I feel a bit sad that people, for whatever reason, won't get to enjoy
an "avocal" means of communication utilizing the computer that the we all
have.

Not sure what you mean. In every state I know of, there's no test or
restriction on manuals vs. automatics unless someone is clearly unable to drive
a manual.

I'm an EE.

No mode always gets through. Some modes, however, get through when some other
modes don't.

Jim:

Indeed. And more often than not, it's usually good, 'ole fashion Morse/CW
which is getting through.

Right you are Roarke of Fantasy Island. Good old fashioned Morse/CW
is what all the present-day public safety agencies use for communications
as well as the global maritime world for distress and safety signalling.

On Fantasy Island "good ole fashion Morse/CW ALWAYS gets through!"

Now get back up in the bell tower and look for de blane, de blane!

You're losin' it, man! Which one am I -- Roarke or Tatoo? You've
referred to be as both in two consecutive postings.

BTW I don't live on Fantasy Island -- In fact, I don't think I've seen two
complete episodes of that program! I am, however, very much a
"Survivor."

Hello Jim ...Just in reference to the old buggy whip automatic xmission
argument .....a skill is a skill is a skill .... noting less nothing more
untill it is needed. eg ...my buddy took me to pick up his son's truck ..
stick shift and he was stuck.... Just the way that no code ops will be stuck
when it comes to the CW mode.

I'm an EE.

...and I'm a PT

Correction ..all of those EEs and computer engineers who are presently
non-ticketed due to CW being below their technical prowess.


ld even say that I would have to eat crow as no doubt within 1 year a

No mode always gets through. Some modes, however, get through when some
other
modes don't.

But I am sure that will come with all the new technical blood that giving
the CW test the boot will result in ..
