Without the internet. That's a fact. indeed shwoing what a disaster the idea was how the ARRL tired to kill the ars THE only reason comment volume ( 6000 ) on incentive licensing was so high is because every General and every Advanced was going to LOSE privileges. Human nature is such that when threatened with a lose, people speak up... but if the changes don't truly alter their current status then most don't care and say nothing. (SNIP) Based on my "first job in radio" I already knew that morse code was a dead end in radio in 1964, 41 years ago. Well, you were wrong, Len. Because Morse Code is still alive and well in radio today. It has a following in amateur radio, but that's like saying that archery is not dead as a weapon of choice because a group of people like and do it. Why bother pursuing a dying technique back then? Morse Code wasn't "dying" back then and it isn't "dying" now - in amateur radio, anyway. not what I hear Maybe not dying, but taking a smaller role as each year moves forward. Are there absolute proofs that is so? No, but reality on the ham bands seems to me to indicate so. Your mileage may vary :-) Cheers, Bill K2UNK |
