Cw, when it came along, was frowned uopn and was predicted to be the death of ham radio as well. Did you know that? hmm I knew that about AM and SSB but not CW do you happen to have a reference for that? (might be useful) Just general knowledge in the history of ham radio, but a little obscure, so let me 'splain... To clarify, he is referring to when Morse code transmissions (using vacuum tube oscillators that generated a continuous wave or "CW") were displacing Morse code transmissions by spark gap transmitters (that generated a 'damped' wave). The guys with the thundering kilowatt rotary spark gap transmitters thought those wimpy little 10 and 20 watt vacuum tube transmitters were going to be the death of the hobby. |
