If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?
The Titanic knew their coordinates.... didn't slow the influx of H20....
The responding ships had radios too... didn't turn their props any faster.... Answer to the question.... there was no system then. CW can punch through if there is a human on the other end, where GPS/packet says 'no signal'.... GPS is faster, where CW takes longer.... so one is obsolete, the other inferior. rb "Cecil Moore" wrote in message .com... Dave wrote: David G.

If the present GPS-based system had existed at the time, how would things have turned out? Which system is presently inferior and virtually obsolete? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
