RE THE SUBJECT TITLE
No one is eliminating the code, only the requirement to obtain a Ham license Many will use CW for many years to come Consider it an optional communication method. RE : Morse musical and word associations the 5th is the only classical piece i can think of that starts like that but i'm sure there are more. L is easy to remember. "to hell with it". Gravity dah dah dit dah Her comes the bride She is a Queen for the day Queen = Q More associations at URL: http://www.afn.org/~afn05925/cw/ dah dah dit dit -- stupid zebra did it di dah di dah dit AR = You Think You Got It -- CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be ! |

"L is easy to remember. "to hell with it". Thank you, I was haveing trouble confusing "F" and "L" I got nothing against CW, but being kept out of amateur radio for 40+ years cus I had difficulty learning the code, sucks. Finally, I got enough right to barely pass the 5 wpm test. Still can't find anybody slow enough for me to copy on the air. If I ever get good enough to use it, I'll try a few homebrew transmitter projects. I expect there are some technically competent people who might be interested in amateur radio, but have no interest in learning code. John |

Actually it was a simple realization on my part that half the alphabet was the mirror of the other. i.e. a/n f/l e/t etc. When I had this epiphany I basically knew the code. All I had to do was learn to receive it which I did successfully twice, once for my novice and once again when I sat for my Tech before my novice license came. Passed both tests. Haven't used it much since. My choice. Dave WD9BDZ |

John They're not interested in being about to communicate in all ways effectively, they just want to be phonies. They they could've stuck to CB for that. |
