Whatta ya wanna bet that "Anon John" is not a licensed anything in radio? Doesn't matter - they have nothing practical to offer. Well I dunno about that Mike, jeez, lookit all the leading-edge "solutions" Sweetums has dumped in here over the years . . . They're not about actually *doing* ham radio, just arguing about it. Too bad they cant do a better job. Indeed CW provides a 10dB path gain over SSB with a simple twist of the mode selector knob. Can't wait to find out what the path gain of CW will be vs. all the furiously hyped HF digital modes. None of which actually exist 10-15 years later of course. Big surprise huh? RX front ends: One can sink thousands upon thousands of bucks into current-tech xcvrs which, by current standards, are the masters of front-end performance. IC-7800, Orion, FT-9000, etc. IF and ONLY if the atmospheric + QRN noise levels are below the RX noise floor. If not a kid with a "hopeless" $200 old crapper xcvr in a quiet location will spank the pants off any of the aforementioned big boxes. If the kid has also learned how to use his ears to duck around strong adjacent signals and how to copy thru his crummy RX noise floor he'll have another pile of dB gain over the clueless who only have money, mouths and keyboards in some combiation or another. Beyond this comes the subject of "operator skills". Oh Good Lord I forgot again: Discussions about operator skills have nothing to do with technical or policy "matters". . apologies . . These are the realities of REAL ham radio. Fuggem, let 'em eat cake and rant on. Quite! - Mike KB3EIA - w3rv |
