If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

Morse Code -plus- Continuous Wave (CW) Radio Transmission -and- Semaphore Signals ? Do They Defining Amateur Radio ?

.net: Slow Code wrote: SWL's should learn CW too. You never know when you might stumple across a station in distress sending an SOS and you might be the only one that hears it and can get help. SWL's normally listen to AM stations. How would they hear a CW station? Many SWL's are Ute listeners. They are the ones most likely to stumble across an SOS. Just like a person isn't a real ham unless they've passed a code test, a shortwave listener isn't a real SWL unless their receiver has a BFO. (SWL's who listen to shortwave with antique receivers are exempt.) SC |

I couldn't hear a CW signal without a BFO if my life depended upon it. I can't hear most of the CW signals even with a BFO. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

There's no way you could have passed the written, let alone CW. May the lord bless and grant us peace from the mental illness that traps you by pulling the plug on your internet. |

That trumps CW at any speed. lol thank you for that I guess saving lives is saving lives only when it uses CW. Those firemen are way out of their league when compared to this bunch. |
