Elimination of CW is a loss in the number of ways we can communicate with other.

Consider the letter "E": a single "dit" in Morse, but it becomes one "tap" followed by 5 "taps" in the above scheme. None too efficient, it seems to me. OTOH, the tap code is infinitely more efficient for sending T, M, O, etc. Incidentally, didn't 'HI HI' originate from the way 'HA HA' sounds in telegraph code? -- 73, Cecil, W5DXP |
