Now, I wouldn't expect to be able to have that sort of a relationship

your insistence that everyone should have Morse forced on them in

Carl:
I consider the use of the term "Morse myths" to be derogatory and
inflammatory. Thus, you have also failed to meet Mike's challenge.

Hw about morse fallicies, morse inaccuracies, erronious morse
claims? Which of these do you find acceptable?

It's easy enough to accept that those of you who have never had any use
for radiotelegraphy would view its stated attributes as mythical, and
for the lot of you that is indeed a proper description. You couldn't
communciate your way out of an emergency using Morse if the fate of the
planet DID depend on it!

I stand a better chance of helping someone else in life as a ham
without knowing any code than waiting for that unlikly
need for CW to actually be used.

And should the time come when CW is caleld for, you and "someone" both
suffer the consequences of your lack.

We'll all keep that in mind, big beeper. Now you take off your
aluminum foil hat and quit browsing the National Enquirer at
the market newsstand.

Odds are always against it
happening. So were the odds against planes being flown into WTC. But it
happened.

Love that stretch of the imagination! Gosh, if you go back into the
FAA reports to the public, at least one of the terrorists used a
civil aviation band radio with voice! Gasp.

I have perxonally seen the need arise for emergency
communications where there were NO communications available and when
HF CW could have easily been used, if it had been planned for.

That was during the big earthquake in Missouri, senior?

I wasn't making the plans.

Maybe you should have been...assert yourself, senior, DEMAND
that "CW" be available for EVERY emergency!

As for the fate of the planet,
when is the sequal coming out to ID4?

Whatever it is, I didn't see the first three and have similar lack of
interest in the fourth.

No? Tsk, tsk. Saving the planet is very important.

Them pesky space aliens might be hiding behind the moon right
now, waiting to attack! Ya gotta be able to Save All Mankind
with your trusty code key and that super secret Morsemanship!
