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

Not an exact date, though it's probably in the archives of the Canadian
Coast Guard, my employer at the time.


Bam... burnin' beepin' ball of fire trailing smoke to the white bubbly patch
in the ocean.... [next to the beepin' burnin' boat]...

Let's get with it people.... are we have a commercial radio argument or an
amateur radio argument???

If commercial then we all agree, argument is moot.

If amateur, it doesn't matter as it's just a hobby, argument is moot.

Make up your mind folks. Either this is a stupid argument or it's a stupid
point to argue.
[hint: its the one that's stupid]

It all depends on the person requesting help. Some people, I would
probably just let drown... Like clowns that troll antenna newsgroups
with silly crap about CW. I bet I could save a lot more lives per
minute
using CW than you could. Wanna race? If you insist.. At that price I
can't resist...

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

That trumps CW at any speed.

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.
