Well then, cure the ignorance. Wouldn't that be easier than learning
the code?

Cure the ignorance ... YEP!

How? Learn to copy code.

Second thing. English has to go first.

I'm alomost 69 years old and have forgotten most of what I learned in college.
But I still remember what I learned in High School ... how to copy Morse code.

I still remember what I learned in grade school ... how to ride a two wheel
bicycle.

Now, if I could only remember that name of the woman I've live with for the past
43 years ...........

I "may" agree with you - in part, but we all know thats not going to
happen! It is a matter of human nature.
i don't it was pretty for me one day work on one of these bike races
the served organizers heard the reapteer CW id asked what it read I
said hame were no longer required to be to read them and I could not,
time change ignorance fixed


It's hard to figure out what you're actually trying to say sometimes Mark,
but what it looks like you were trying to convey to the race organizer is
that you're retarded.

Love it, get up on cb channels to do CW practice. The sheer irratation
factor is worth learning code

If one wishes to operate legally on 11 meters do not use CW or tone CW.
The only legal modes of communicating there is AM or SSB voice. Tone
maybe used as an alerting mechanism but not for other methods of
communication.

Even though licenses are not required and most (not all) persons don't
follow the regs there, if you are caught violating the regs there you
can be refused an Amateur License. It can and does happen from time to time.

This is true! As the man said, tho most don't follow them - they DO exist.
They WILL be enforced - if so desired. Actually, an infraction of any radio
rule can deem you ineligible for not only an Amateur Licence but also any
other license from the FCC - even GROL. IF you hold a GROL and do something
stupid with it, it can cause your "amateur" license to be stripped.
Ignorance is no excuse. When you sign the forms - and your license(s) - you
agree to abide by the R/Rs.

In "Indepedance Day" morse code saves the world from the alien
invasion! They made a movie about it so it must be true!

Does that mean we're virtually obsolete?

My favorite mode is CW and it's a fun mode but it is never
going to save the world.
