I agree with both sides of the discussion. I was an Army trained cw/ RTTY intercept operator. Learned the morse code and where the keys were on a typewriter one very hot summer just outside of Boston at a place called Fort Devens. After that I was sent to radio-teletype school. Years later I taught myself how to copy with a "stick" and to this day still feel more comfortable copying it all down.
Spend 95% + of my time in amateur radio on the digital modes of cw (ears only) and RTTY. I also tell anyone who will listen that amateur radio has *so many* areas of interest that losing interest in one area just opens up another area. This gives you the opportunity to try operating different modes, building things, award chasing, public service and the list goes on and on. And best of all the Xyl always knows where I am .... in the shack on piddling with new idea or trying something new the backyard and not at the local pub! ~73 to all Jim AC0E On 11/8/2012 9:46 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Re: CW Decoding - Your Brain is best (stan levandowski) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
