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

In the electronics industry, indeed in MOST industries, those applying for jobs don't present a curriculum vitae, just a RESUME of education-work experience. Some academics may use "CV" but Personnel departments still look over resumes. Just one more little gaffe on Robesin's part, trying to LOOK experienced when he is NOT. You're out of touch, old timer. Brits commonly use the term "CV" instead of "resume". Many American companies have picked up on the use of the term "CV". It is not just used in academia: can you name even one Dave? I reconze it of course and have used it but only in academia, and with "think tanks" gruops Definitions of curriculum vitae on the Web: * (abbreviated cv): Latin expression meaning "course of life" in other words, a resume. http://www.brochure-design.com/broch...ing-terms.html Are you trying to look recently experienced when you are not?

Sorry Al, here's what you said: Even if you didn't know "ola" from "adios", you can copy Spanish in CW and hand it to the recipient, who can read it. Try that with a mic. Your words, not David's. You implied *Spanish* couldn't be copied with a mic by a non-Spanish speaking person. I showed that it can be done. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

: "Dave Oldridge" wrote in message . .. [snip] Now, today, we have such things a PSK31 to do much of the grunt work. That will work as well as CW in most cases, I find. Don't forget thought that solar flares and especially the aurora they create induce a phase shift in signals and that wipes out PSK31. True, I've never had much success during 2 metere aurora openings with anything BUT CW. It ain't CW by the time it gets to the other end, but it's still readable there. -- Dave Oldridge+ ICQ 1800667 |

IF they are, they can often transcend barriers of language that only digital modes can get over. In my own case, the fact that I could read CW and read written Spanish a bit once enabled me to render aid to a burning fishing boat. (There were other more routine examples of where the language barrier was crossed by CW--many messages I copied were not in English at all, but were readable by their end recipients). OK.... so by your own words, CW still didn't save a life... CW mixed with bad Spanish passed a message. So now we'll have to add a Spanish test. Thanks a lot. I think you missed the point. Even if you didn't know "ola" from "adios", you can copy Spanish in CW and hand it to the recipient, who can read it. Try that with a mic. As for the language thing.... I can copy voice language and hand it off to another native just as easy and they'll figure it out too. No CW necessary. Really? You can write a spoken language you don't understand well enough to be read by someone who understands it? Maybe. Maybe not. In CW, you can. I can do it (and have done so) using phonetics. But that's SLOWER than CW. -- Dave Oldridge+ ICQ 1800667 |

I've had to handle foreign language traffic phonetically by voice and by CW - and I much prefer CW for that kind of work, even though I prefer voice for most rag-chewing. As you say, needing it spelled out is quite slow. |
