It was never about anyone stopping you from sending cw was it...

It is about stopping you from forcing others to learn cw when they would
never use it...

Always when one is being forced to do something they do not wish to,
they should question everything in sight... just as you began when you
thought someone was going to force you to quit...

.... let's at least keep my comment about the drums straight...

Warmest regards,

... that almost makes me miss the ancient drums my
great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-etc. ancestors used
to
use to communicate with in the primordial jungles... I wonder if we
could bring those back to?

... perhaps require the new licensees to beat out a fancy tempo on
one
of those turkeys before we gave 'em a license!
evil-grin

But consider that some of us can send and receive cw faster than most
folks
can type.

I know you may be good at "cut and paste", but that doesn't
necessarily cut
it LOL.

Sure, voice appears faster, but when you get names and addresses that
are
hard to pronounce ....

Not saying that CW is the best, but some folks better come up with
something
superior to AM and FM. There are a number of modes, but most folks
want to
"talk". That won't cut it for 85 watt moonbounce on 24 GHz.

ps - when I talk send and receive cw faster than some folks type, I'm
not
talking a nice, leisurely chat at 30 or 35 words per minute ...
