    At least that's what I've heard some say.

    I'm just kidding really. #
    Code is absolutely awesome!
    I think we should go back to the old standard of CW: 5wpm, 13wpm, 20wpm

    Now, if only the ARRL would fight as hard for this standard as they have to get us that new 60m band!!!

    PS: #Just stirring up trouble!!!!!!!

    Thumbs up

    I also agree: What other mode can you get on the air by making all your own equipment including the antenna with a less than $100 and talk around the world every day? What other mode can you use with about a half dozen QSOs in a 1 KHz window and not be very concerned with tromping on someone above or below?
    CW has a lot to offer. What other mode can you operate where a speech impediment will go un-noticed that requires no specialized equipment?
    When I read this topic title I thought "Here we go again". I was pleasantly surprised I didn't have to defend CW from nay-sayers. Thumbs up to this posting.

    Not exactly true: What about that year&#39;s worth of service at &#036;30 a month. For the first year that&#39;s over &#036;400, and if you want to keep talking, at least another &#036;20 a month.... yuk..yuk..

    Hehehehe... WISE GUY, EH? I was just about to hook a fresh propane tank up to my flamethrower. Rats&#33;

    Just in time for the New Year, how about a morse code requirement for CB?

    Long live the cult of the dead horse&#33;

    Yes, it is a dead horse, for some who don&#39;t care anymore.

    I was pretty inspired by the website for NoCode International.
    I thought I would take it a step further and just advocate the abolition of radio altogether&#33;&#33;&#33; HA&#33;HA&#33;HA&#33;HA&#33;
