My Take on CW
PowerHouse Communications wrote:
Who cares! CW doesn't belong in a SCANNER group. Discuss it in a more appropriate group; there are MANY of them, and this is not one of them! "ToeJam" stuck his ToeJammed bigfoot up his ass and wrote in message ... The need for CW has been waining for many years now and technology has eliminated a need for it. Why do we still need CW? How many Hams still use CW? SNIP You could have fooled me. From what I see here, there are more Ham related postings than Scanner postings. Are you jummping all over the other folks that are posting Ham related material too? Or did you just get up on the wrong side of the bed? I'm not new to Usenet and don't normally post off topic material, but when I see more postings concerning a subject not related to the newsgroup, I figure maybe folks gyrated from scanners to Ham. So don't go preaching to me with your ****ty attitude. You could have phrased your response a bit kinder instead of being an asshole about it. I'll lurk and see how you personally deal with the other Ham related postings. And FWIW, Scanners are strongly related to Ham radio, always have been and always will be. |

No offense, but I don't see the other HAM related postings... All that off-topic crap is filtered out by my newsreader... Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel like I was singling you out, I just don't see the other crap, there for I don't have a need to "deal" with it... |

And yes, if you turn your filer off or use another reader, you will see a flood of HAM related material here, more so than scanners. It actually took me by surprise to see so much. I usually try to stay on topic on Usenet but with this newsgroup, it's hard to tell what the on topic discussion should be about. Later. |

No matter what facet of radio you enjoy, the topic is to protect it by improving the quality of the hobbiests involved. That's why most will agree if you know morse code, you'll be a better skilled hobbiest and will improve your nich of the hobby and/or radio service you're involved with. A valuable knowledge base for those of coming into the services and hobby. Tnx, 73 Good luck in the contest. SC |

So, in other words, if you don't know how to develop film, you have no
business doing digital photography?

My Take on CW - for Powerhouse
You know, CW may be obsolete, but having to learn the code instilled a
bit of discipline and sense of purpose in getting a ham license. Of course things like mathematics, science and such that require mental discipline are no longer politically correct so are generally not required in education today because we certainly don't want to bruise anyone's ego or tax their MTV indoctrinated brains. So, I guess the code will have to go. Frank K3YAZ Tucson Brian Denley wrote: So, in other words, if you don't know how to develop film, you have no business doing digital photography?

You don't have to know how it works you just get on it and act stupid. We can't have ham radio be like that, we want skill. Quality, not quantity. I know a lot of you don't like that because it means more work, but we get a higher quality operator.
