Amen ! At last some sense here. Anyone who believes you can successfully operate CW using a decoder is living in cuckoo land ! For a CW contest... forget it ! Decoders are very poor at coping with typical HF conditions, QRM, QRN, QSB, ESP signals, poor sending, spacing, bad spelling, all will produce frustrating gibberish from a decoder. ( Yes they are improving but will never be good enough). Any real CW Op knows this. However, the Brain of a real CW Op can cope with this all of in a remarkable way and is much more satisfying.
You either want to be a CW Op or not. If not, stick with the automated digital modes. 73, F5VJC On 9 November 2012 06:17, eric manning <emann...@cs.uvic.ca> wrote: > > "CW is just another digital mode" > > Yes, and Rembrandt is just another painter, > Dizzy was just another trumpet player > a Porsche is just another car > a K3 is just another radio > > . . . . . > > > Eric VA7DZ > > "All Men are not Created Equal ...
