I do happen to know the morse code. At one time I could do 30 wpm.

But the chance that I shall see, in my lifetime, someone drowning in a
river when I have with me a battery-operated transmitter, a receiver,
an antenna, ground spike, and a morse key is about one in
10,000,000,000.

I would be far more likely to plug in the microphone.

In any case, by the time I had got the gear fixed up and made a
suitable contact, the poor victim could have floated out into the
Atlantic Ocean.

It would be a good idea to dump the equipment and run downstream along
the river bank to the nearest safety belt.

nah you use the ground spike to achor your antenna to use as a safety
line the tranmiter might make a decent grip might not and then go in
and save the guy

Logically, the fantastically unlikely is the one thing you SHOULD be
prepared for. According to Murphy, whatever can go wrong, WILL go wrong,
and at the least opportune time.

It would appear that the Busted Urinals of RRAP are trying to share the

You'll probably never have to use CW to save a life, but you should
learn it anyway just in case. Ham radio is like a spare tire, when you
need it you hope it's not flat. CW is like the air in the tire. I know
I don't ever want to hear someone say: "Why couldn't you get help, I
though hams were supposed to know morse code."
