If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?
Ham's care more about operating appliances than knowing how to save a lives.

A ham operator intercepted the SOS from the RMS Titanic. Did that save even one life? If the Titanic's CW operator had not bullied the California's CW operator off the air, the California might have saved the day. But after such shabby treatment from the Titanic's arrogant CW operator, the California's CW operator shut down and turned in. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

We aren't talking about failure to receive a CW SOS. Those ships that responded did so after receiving word of the sinking by radio. They saved many lives from the lifeboats which would otherwise have been lost to the cold. Dave N |
