Why does a Morse/Farnsworth Code advocacy group use a symbol of
violence for their name?


Nope .....a symbol of anatomy used to describe a good CW op as in he
has a good fist .....which I have heard used repeatedly over the years
...I guess it is a lot simpler to say that than ..... that fellow can
really coordinate the use of his thumb-middle and index finger and his
forearm to send good signals ......na .....I guess it has degenerated
into the pressing of a mike button to complain about one's health
problems or making bizarre noises either on purpose or by some wildly
compressed splattering signal to make up for poor operating skill Oh
BTW don't forget my 10-10 number. But I guess that pounding brass is
more violent than flapping one's jaw

You really don't like phone do you? Nobody's forcing you to tune up to the
phone end of the band!

No Alun I like phone .....I get on 2 meters with the local hams ...if you
are ever on I-70 give a call on the 147.27 machine. I do, admittedly on
occasion, get on HF phone and have had good conversations with others. I
will say how ever that most of the poorest operating practices occur there.
I derive more hassle free operation via CW and data. The above was in
response to a mildly thought out troll.
