You must be mistaken. I just checked my log and I've worked W4NTI
dozens of times over the past few years. Nearly half of the Q's were on
SSB (I think that mode qualifies as "phone".) Certainly Dan wouldn't
work people he considers "lids".

Good luck on this one now!

That would make Dan a self-declared lid.

Thank you Hans,

I actually do consider ALUN a lid. Because he has stated he is a phone
operator ONLY. To me that is a lid.

What makes you think that real CW ops won't learn/use manual Morse
if the mandatory testing requirement is dropped?

I might even use it if the test is dropped! Some of these guys are
terrified that they will have no-one to work. Not that I would want to

Good Hams that know CW are more than willing to reduce speed (QRS). In fact
real CW ops know that it is idiotic to keep sending faster than your contact
can receive. It's a waste of time.

As for you not wanting to talk to me for saying my opinion of phone only
ops. That's ur choice Alun. And your loss. You would enjoy working W4NTI
on CW.

Because people are basically lazy and most likely won't bother. Unless a
ham that knows and loves CW is his Elmer.

Meanwhile, Amateur Radio continues. OTA, not here. Will we hear you on

I hope so, Jim. I am trying to put up a new attic loop right now. I
am
also experimenting with the MFJ version of the manual bandspanner as an
"emergency" antenna. I am trying to see if it can be used in an NVIS
configuration, or if it is too mechanically short.

NVIS prop is usually several db down ordinary skywave.

Be kind to someone who just found out about "Nevis." That's
important stuff for effective (but illegal) homegrown "militia"
defense of the Homeland. [remember his need for a "real military"
handset for an SG-2020? :-) ]

Maybe he is "activating" a special "amateur only MARS" unit?
