If CW is dead....why do the US Army Field Manuals provide instructions for
setting up SINGCARS-V radios in CW mode?

Answer: For the same reason that, if you search the web long enough,
you might possibly come up with all or part of an operating manual for
an old military spark-gap transmitter - namely that a lot of
information about old military stuff can be found on the Internet.

For example, I followed the link above, only to find myself staring at
part of the instructions for the AN/VRC-45 and AN/VRC-49 radios. Not
unlike the use of CW in US military communications, these two radios
are obsolete, having been replaced by the AN/VRC-93 UHF TACSAT (as in
TACtical SATellite) radios.

John:

I entered #monitor though dalnet servers. The channel welcome notice
states it is cross linked with zirc (if there isn't a split or other tech
probs), what is your nick there?

Usually KC2HMZ.

The #monitor channel is linked across four networks - dalnet,
StarChat, zirc, and ircnet. The usual tech problem that would cause a
severance of the crosslink would be if one of the relay bots pings
out, or if the server a linkbot is on gets lost in a netsplit.

Otherwise you can join any of the four networks - though if you want
to avail yourself of the NSA logbot you'll need to be on either ircnet
or zirc.

On IRCnet, yes.

On zIRC, I usually use KC2HMZ, but also have KNY2VS registered. It
makes a good alternate nick in case I ping out and have to rejoin
under another nick so I can kill my ghost.
