I'm an enthusiastic user of CW, but I fully support such a plan. Let "market
forces" and usage-centric gentlemens agreements determine band usage.

Morse users currently can use that mode on literally all the amateur-allocated
frequencies with the exception of the five channels on 5Mhz.

And 220 FWTW.

On a "larger" CW
contest weekend they could (perfectly legally) use any frequency (that was not
occupied) for CW contesting.

Why should CW be alone in such a generous allocation?

Brian,

You have written that phrase as a direct quote, and attributed it to

Where have I written that I 'served in other ways'?

Jimmie "serves" ceasar salads at the O-club on Satiddy nights.

Jimmie loves to re-argue, re-argue, re-argue old, old postings'
content, perhaps hoping to THIS TIME being able to win one...:-)


Jimmie be the "silent majority" type of wannabe...or maybe a
Better-Than? He is "superior" and without fault in whatever he
does. Just ask him and he will confirm that.


Give Jimmie some slack(s). He might be organizing a charity
group in memory of fallen hippie linemen who tye-dyed on active
duty in the 60s?

I have seen people proposing going entirely to voluntary band plans for HF
instead of regulated splits ala Europe and thus making all modes legal
throughout the entire band. That could impact your use of Morse during
the
larger voice contests.

Couldn't possibly. CW always gets through.

With the number of hams in this country that could
be a mess.

Thus one of the original reasons to test for Morse. It limits the
number of people holding a license.

He reminds me of Madeliene Al(most)bright saying that America no longer
needs the "Marine Culture." Woefully uninformed. She's not worthy to
preside over a barrel-burning detail for our deployed troops.

Hmmmm? OK, if he wants to reargue what he says he didn't say...

It's funny. A few years ago, I was surrounded by people serving in the
military, and it almost appeared that everyone did. Most of us had
been to the desert, to Honduras, to Korea, etc, etc, etc.

Now that I'm out here with the "civils," its eye-opening and shocking.

If Jim want's to make some legitimate claim to how he served, then he
can make it. If not then he can go to his grave regretting how he
misspent his youth or how he "served in other ways" that are the
equivalent of military service in his mind. Sad.

Not a troll at all, Brian. I think it's a fair question.

Morse is allowed on virtually all amateur frequencies except 219MHz and
5MHz allocations.

Being a CW operator, quite frankly I'm happy about the flexibility that gives
me. But it's a mystery to me why all modes aren't treated in this generous
manner, and why other CW operators seem so firmly opposed to the
Canadian/European "market forces" model of frequency sharing.
