Don't know if you've heard yet, but the ARRL and robesin announced that MARS and TSA have an agreement for armageddon communications. Heh heh, I wouldn't doubt it... "Armageddon"...?!?! No one announced "armageddon" in any release that I am aware of. Why did you? Yet more evidence of why it's better to have Lennie "Can't Pass An Exam" Anderson on the outside looking in. Steve, K4YZ The ARRL Letter, Vol. 25, No. 33, August 18, 2006 ARRL First Vice President Kay Craigie, N3KN, represented the League at the Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Conference 2006: "Craigie stressed that Amateur Radio needs to avoid "being dazzled by our own press clippings into thinking that we are the big dog in emergency telecommunications."" |

Maybe I missed the "news" on the Home and Garden Channel...I don't watch that much... Right and all the other radio services are switching to morse code for all emergency communications a la ham radio...the sky has truly fallen! didit! Dahdah comrade. :-) |

Democrats at the National Convention Boo'd the Boy Scouts when they posted the flag and said the Pledge of Allegiance. Some people even make unfounded accusations of pedophilia when they learn that someone is a Scout leader. Scouts learn life saving. Some scouts even learn Morse Code. It's all good. |

If one accepts the "Drudge Report" as journalism. It's a BLOG. Instead of using verbal communications, how about a parable about how those Boy Scouts could have chosen to use Morse Code? Your question is unconnected to your first sentence. How does one "use morse code" to save a drowning child? Why would they do that if they were in close proximity? Please tell us why it is SO important to be "correct" on details of the Titanic disaster that happened 94 years ago? I asked another in here who-what-why-where-when of amateur radio saving any lives via morse code. That hasn't been answered yet. Maybe you can supply the details? |

A cell phone was used to call paramedics, not a code key. Impossible according to the rabid morsemen. "ALL" infrastructure (including cell phones) "FAIL" in emergencies! :-) Please tell us why it is SO important to be "correct" on details of the Titanic disaster that happened 94 years ago? I asked another in here who-what-why-where-when of amateur radio saving any lives via morse code. That hasn't been answered yet. Nor will it be. MYTHOLOGY cannot be argued logically. It is part of the lore, the mystique promulgated by groups who think they are far more than they really are. The ARRL resells a few fictional novels by a single author (a gal) whose subject is mainly "saving the day" with amateur radio, several of which are supposed to feature the "life-saving abilities" of morsemanship. I've never read any, just read the ad copy for them on the ARRL website. In the writing trade those are known as "teen-age novels" and are for the under-adult age group. Some folks think those works of fiction are "real" and like to cite them to those of us who know better. That and all the other tales of the Olde Dayes when Kode was King and all the "best" radio men pounded brass. That was long, long ago when radio was new, something to communicate with that did not exist before it came along. Maybe you can supply the details? Cecil can't. Cecil tried to appease the morse jihadists a while back by joining in their rrap cw net. In the end, they still can't stand his views on morse testing. The RRAP morse jahidists MUST have THEIR way. They NEED the elitist identification to prove they are "somebodies" who are "better" than ordinary mortals through morsemanship. They get very tiresome rather quickly. I'm calling them the new "Al-Code-ah" since they might be organized and beginning to terrorize amateurs with their demands of code-testing-forever in the USA. I've nothing against those who LIKE to use morse code and find pleasure in that mode. I am totally against those who DEMAND that ALL MUST test for morsemanship (at any speed) just to get an amateur radio license. They are fixated on their youth and times past, trying to delude themselves that time has marched on and all of electronics technology has changed many times over since They began. It's quite remarkable viewing some of those olde-tymers trying to tout their "I am the greatest" bragging, especially so since I began in radio communications back before some of them had yet to be born or at least before they became teen- agers! These olde-tymers blabber on about the efficacy of morsemanship long, long after ALL the other radio services stopped using morse. For them time stood still...or they refused to acknowledge the inexorable passage of time. The "Al-Code-Ah" continue in their Jihad... |

Oh, my! :-) Now comes the "outrage" from a wanna-be jar head. I was thinking more of the image of Jar-Jar Binks having come to earth in Newington and invading the editors offices of QST. [see the 4th "Star Wars" film to find out who Jar-Jar Binks is and morsemen should quit viewing "Independence Day" for the umpteenth time... :-) ] This just in from The ARRL Letter, Vol. 25, No. 33, August 18, 2006 "ARRL First Vice President Kay Craigie, N3KN, represented the League at the Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Conference 2006."

Right and all the other radio services are switching to morse code for all emergency communications a la ham radio The American Public would sue them for slow service and wrongful deaths. Well, the reporting of those civil court cases would be NEW COPY for the papers! Wanna bet that the ARRL would try to spin that off as "good for the ARS?" :-) ...the sky has truly fallen!
