Fallacy - Morse code is still the easiest way to get on the air,
I keep hearing the claim that Morse code is still the easiest way to
get on the air,but it isn't so. Most radios come with a microphone and all you have to do is look up the power and antenna. to operate worse code. You also have to buy a key and the operating requirements are more stringent, For operating phone, you can set the radio up on a table. Next to your easy chair.To operate Morse code, you need a good table to hold the key,and raced your arm on and a chair to keep you in the proper posture. On the other hand, some people require even more equipment to operate Morse code, Because I have Parkinson's disease I am unable to use a manual key or and if I were to use Morse: I would either need a computer keyboard with good macros or modify a speech to text program to provide my input, and since I can't write five words a minute and would either need a Morse to text converter or at the least a keyboard with a notebook program, I would be better off using RTTY or some other digital modes rather than Morse code. As far as learning Morse code what is the point? I will never be able to use it and in my case, why should I waste time learning it, Speech to text programs generate some interesting typos, I hope I caught them all. Rod Anderson W0RCA |
