Default Hey slow code... (and WTB 500 kHz xmtr)

was to get there. And what if there is a gas shortage? The horse can
take you to the hospital to save your life for only the cost of some
grass.


I see you're still using a keyboard to communicate; they've been around
since the mid 1800s. Tell me you're not still using a telephone; that
was invented circa 1880. Verbal communication? That's been in
use for millions of years. Walking upright? A gazillion years.

It's no accident that the most useful things seem to stick around for
quite a long time. For many hams, that includes CW.

Let's have a contest: We'll each build a transmitter from scratch for
our favorite mode; let's see who can get it built and on the air faster,
and collect more QSOs, within say, a week.

Now, just so this is on-topic for .swap: WTB shipboard 500 kHz xmtr,
preferably, a Mackay Marine emergency rig.

No 73 for you,
Jeff KH6O



Thanks Jeff, I forgot how old the keyboard was. Using RF to send CW is
much more modern. I guess the CW haters are just lazy.
