Hi Guys, Anyone who says that CW is extinct has been spending FAR too much time in front of the computer, & not enough time in front of the rig...!
If CW is so dead & buried, then why is it that the bands are virtually overflowing with so many snappy fists on any major contest weekend...? If nothing else, CW is a very effective "lid filter"...besides, I find my time on CW to be relaxing & challenging, at the same time. We communicate orally during the course of our working days enough as it is --- it's a magical thing to be able to communicate through one's fingers... Besides, a mastery of CW is like mastery of a second language...and as the wise sage once said, "...A man who speaks just one single language is but half a man." ~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bry Carling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2007 9:10 AM Subject: RE: [AMRadio] League pulls RM-11306 > > That came along because CW is really not a viable means of communication... > > AM and CW will survive for a LONG time yet - maybe as long as > the other modes. > > Don't count CW out yet! > > There was a recent contest held between sending a message via > morse code and sending a text message between two cell phones. > > The CW message came through FIRST! > > There is a video clip of the TV show on the web.
