Huh???? Can you prove that assertion? :-)

The notification systems are radio-based.

Your assertion that transmitting GPS coordinates is not
a GPS-based system is obviously ridiculous and hopefully
just a bad joke. Better luck next time.

Many ham are American Red Cross first aid and adult CPR instructors.

That trumps CW at any speed.

Really cute, Bill...I love it.

73, Steve, K9DCI
P.S. I tilted my monitor and I see that this movement is a little out of
balance on the sides. End-to-end balance is ok. Carefully turn the balance
weight on the right side in a little, then it'll sit on zero regardless of
the orientation...

Press the degauss button. The needle will let go.

No GPS, the notification still occurs. No radio, the notice doesn't
occur. What was the notification based on, again?

Any notification that reports GPS coordinates is GPS-based,
by definition. When you add GPS capability to a radio
transmitter, it doesn't cease to be radio-based but it also
becomes GPS-based. It's not an either/or mutual exclusive
situation. Just as one can have a vehicle that is both
white and a Chevrolet, one can have an emergency system
that is both GPS-based and radio-based.

If you asked the same question to someone who had only passed 5 wpm and
then, like me, never used it, then I suspect the victim wouldn't make it.
But then in most countries there is NO morse code testing any more, so
there are plenty of hams now who've never learnt atall. For decades there
have been no code VHF hams in most countries anyway.


To "some" extent, I "may" have to disagree. I held a class once for "No Code
Tech" and one of the guys - a man in his 70s asked if he could go for the
code test even though I wasn't teaching code. He said he had learned it
years ago in the service - but may be rusty. Let me tell you - when he was
done testing, he had PERFECT copy. Was he practicing all along? We'll never
know - nor did I ask. He has since passed on. Some people DO have a good
memory and retain quite well. Others - lose things almost immediately if not
used. Some of us, it takes a while to lose it and we usually do.

Sorry Mark, the pumping and blowing you know isn't called CPR.
