So, Which reader has actually saved a life or lives using "CW" on Ham Bands?

Even if the ham responded and began calling, there is no assurance that anyone would hear or pay attention to some emergency plea; that would violate the normal conversation that goes on in ham bands and cause much on-air disputes, further clogging calls for help. Speed of help calling is variable, anything from several minutes to many hours. Not that it matters since the victim already died after trying to get through all the ragchewing, self-styled radio police, and general cat-calling by other amateurs. or you if you had to you could send ing sos or oso the later seems likely to get you aid the fastest from the CW they will df you fast to come and castise you for it and likely then well at least rennder first aid as they take you to task for daring to misspell sos |

Then you'll know before you die a ham used morse code to save a life and you can rest in peace over CW. Slow, thats IMPOSSIBLE! If you use CW then how can Len die? Blowcode can, in his small mind's imagination, do all sorts of things. Here's a "plain and simple fact" of possible probables in case of anyone ACTUALLY dying or needing help: 1. By telephone, wired or cell: Dial 911, the universal, manned 24/7 emergency number. In turn, the 911 operator will communicate with the appropriate agency by wire or radio (there are 3 basic radio bands for public safety radio services in the USA, one more coming). There is one cell phone for every three citizens in the USA. Speed as fast as a 911 conversation. Correction... that's "9 -dash- 1 -dash- 1." Robesin says so. 2. By - gasp - Citizens Band Radio Service transceivers in urban areas. CB radio users out-number amateurs by 4 to 5 to one. Considering that some radio amateurs have to work for a living and are not AT their ham radios but highway truckers are both working and with their CBs, the virtual ratio is probably double 5:1. Probability of return to first communication about help is high considering that many CB transceivers have guard receivers always tuned to the emergency channel. Speed of that is variable, may take three times longer than a conversation with a 911 operator. 3. If flying there are two basic ways to indicate help. Overland airways routes will have ATCRBS running and a transponder "77" prefix code will generate a flag on the ATC beacon display. On civil airways, 121.5 MHz is the international universal emergency frequency (243 MHz for military radio). Speed of either is a bit longer than with 911 operator calling but quite fast. 4. On the water, in inland waterways and harbors, there is a VHF FM channel for emergencies but common in-use frequencies would get attention for real calls for help. GMDSS is available on ships over deep water as well as an HF radio voice channel for international maritime distress calls. Since maritmers are noted for adherence to SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea), the response would be fast. 5. On land, lacking cell coverage (rare now) but on or near highways, there is high probability that any motorist or trucker would have a CB or possibly a business vehicle with a business radio would be passing (PLMRS vehicular radios are quite common with small and large businesses). Any passing public safety agency vehicle would have a radio transceiver capable of directly contacting appropriate help. Farmers are increasing their use of private radios and might be nearby. FRS and GMRS HTs are also becoming more common for both private and business use. Speed of help calling would be variable depending on location, nearby vehicular traffic. 6. Lacking any of the above, one might look for a non-TV or non-CB antenna on a house...high probability of that belonging to a radio amateur. [such a search could take many hours, though] If the date and time corresponded to a ham contest time, the ham might not respond quickly. Even if the ham responded and began calling, there is no assurance that anyone would hear or pay attention to some emergency plea; that would violate the normal conversation that goes on in ham bands and cause much on-air disputes, further clogging calls for help. Speed of help calling is variable, anything from several minutes to many hours. Not that it matters since the victim already died after trying to get through all the ragchewing, self-styled radio police, and general cat-calling by other amateurs. 7. Blow Code is of NO help since he is not verified as a valid (or invalid) licensed radio amateur. |

Robesin says so. then it MUST be worng BB you should know that by now It's come full circle. ;^) Har! :-) The robeswine spawned the worm ouroborous! :-) What is that? It is the mythical long worm that keeps eating his own tail. :-) May not be spelled exactly right...I don't speak Wormish. If Klein wants to post about seeing-eye cats and bees in the "Code Reader Recommendation" thread, I can describe worms. :-) |
