Listen here... I will not stand by and watch millions of innocent people die
needlessly as
more an more people shun the gift of life by scoffing at CW.
It's genocide I tell you, and the government just sits by and watches it
happen!!

Aw, fer Chrissake Woody, kwit yer cryin' and whinin'.

Sorry... my bad... is it 35 now? I stand corrected.

Back to the chant...

If you can't do 35wpm, you should stay off the bands!!
Seriously people, think about it... do *you* want blood on your hands
because you're a slow-beepin loser?
Lives are on the line, in case you aren't paying attention.

This is serious business and requires a dedication as if it were... your
only purpose.

Unmotivated 25wpm losers need not apply.

20 is SLOW. But the only way to learn 35 or 40 is to learn 10, 15, 20
etc.
And the best way to do that is get on the bands and DO it instead of
making
rude noises at the people who CAN.

Phonetics on SSB are usually a lot slower than 20wpm, though.

Hey... you have proof I was dropped?? I've wondered for years as I just
can't remember the day I was born at all.
It kinda annoys me, but hey, I can't remember CW either, so I figure no loss
either way.
rb

Not to stray off-topic or break any rules, but you wouldn't happen to have a
50w VHF Spectra you'd want to sell or trade, would ya?

This gem must've come from the other brain cell. Is that the one that
took the brunt when you were dropped?

Really? You can write a spoken language you don't understand well
enough to be read by someone who understands it? Maybe. Maybe not.
In CW, you can.

I can do it (and have done so) using phonetics. But that's SLOWER
than
CW.

You're preaching to the choir, Dave. I've had to handle foreign
language traffic phonetically by voice and by CW - and I much prefer
CW for that kind of work, even though I prefer voice for most
rag-chewing. As you say, needing it spelled out is quite slow.

Which one? You win some, you lose some.

Huh? How can a fast CW op *not* save a life? Have you read this thread at
all?
CW = Gift of Life.
Fast CW = Hand of God.

It's in the Extra Class manual....

And that's why I'm watching TV from a 12ghz satellite signal right now.
Putting the antenna that high makes all modes pretty much equal as far as
signal-to-noise goes.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGH!!
Holy crap.... I hope no one else reads that.. It'll kill the entire
Comm-Post pile we're making, and then
people will just go back to swapping radios or something. [Perish the
thought!]

The one that's looking for a VHF 50w Spectra..... hehe...

And I have to ask Dave, [and I mean seriously this time]... You really
aren't defending this thread [in this group] as
an intelligent discussion [or one that should even be here] in the first
place, are you?

Stay on topic Dave.... the issue is *CW* saves lives,[or results in other
holistic happenings] ok?

I swear I've already explained that to ya...?

We've proven many posts ago that brain cells have nothing to do with ham
radio, this thread or those in it.
My fav site, www.hamsexy.com will explain it all.

I think I'd even consider an M1225 in trade, instead of the Spectra.

Good call. Admit nothing, deny everything.

Hey, if you had to use CW to make chicken salad for a starving Latvian,
would that person starve to death?

If you had to use either of your brain cells to think of some way to FEED
a
starving Latvian would that person starve to death?

The aluminum skin of a C130 is sort of hard to see through. The only
craft that I ever saw with a glass underbelly was a tour boat in
Florida.

But you can rest assured that neither robesin nor the CAP was flying
that C130.

If you heard Mark calling Mayday, would you switch to a different repeater?
 

Or have a party.
