Well, my point was that you can't include cw as a digital mode - using q sigs and shorthand you can knock out 10 qsos in the time it takes one on sideband. You can whistle it, tap it on a table, use a flashlight, tap two wires together, etc.
You don't need a friggin computer to communicate at high speed.

Rick ... 99% of us took the code and don't use it. BUT that said nothing wrong with thoes who are GOOD at and enjoy the mode .... I myself love lissing to the guys zipping along at 12-20 wpm even if i can only copy a few letters in a row .... It's a neet mode and VERY good when you have to pull things out of the noise .... Sometimes people just think old is not any good ... and to many CW is a old useless mode ..... Bruce On 6 since 66 Your comment .... "Like most things, there are always some extreme examples that you could point to, but 99% of us are not going to be doing QRQ CW. It took tremendous work for me to even pass the 20 wpm CW test at the FCC years ago. And not many hams today even know Morse code at any speed, much less at QRQ speeds." __________________________________________________________ Be a PS3 game guru.
