ARRL members, I need your help.

Back in the day when I got my Advanced, my Tech class Elmer pointed out that if you don't know the code, how do you know what repeater you're on? Most automated identifications are still Morse code and it is still legal. It is sad that Morse code is so under utilized. It is a testimony to the lack of interest in the greatest tool for weak signal work. If you have no interest in learning Morse code, than you affirm that your communications capabilities should be limited to voice capabilities. Who in emergency communications believes that their capabilities should be limited by a lack of expertise? Perhaps they believe that emergency commumications should be restricted to FRS? Rediculous! Still, we see even avid DXers throw in the towel on a weak one when Morse code would have cut through the pile-up in a heart beat. A friend in High School made DXCC in 2 years on CW only, with a 100 watt radio and dipoles! The fact remains that those who hate the code are clueless to its effectiveness. Their only defense is ignorance. Sad! AC6TK Amen brother. |
