Regardless of the idiots at the FCC, you operate a radio in CW mode. Morse Code is the "language" used when operating the radio using Continuous Wave mode.
This is not a worthy amateur radio topic. Any ham worth their salt knows what Continuous Wave On Off Keying is. CW is the mode, and Morse is the code ordinarily used by amateur radio operators. Many other codes could be used that rely on switching a carrier wave on and off. This is just some attention whore on youtube looking for a few hits from ex CBers who just passed their extra class liscense and have no idea what the difference between CW and Morse code is.
Call it what you like but we need more operators who can communicate with it. If not, then it's a waste of a huge chunk of our allocation. Use it or lose it.
I can agree with "use it or lose it" but I fail to see how we need more people trained in Morse code to use the allocated RF spectrum.
CW, Morses' code, beeping, whatever..... we are not PhDs in English, we barely can speak, thinking is a stretch.... We share our interest in ...R....F..!!.... That is what it is about, but yes, actually good, but not exactly profound point. 'Morse' is the technique, 'CW' is the mode we USE that technique with. They have become synonymous for those of us who share this activity..... So we can keep it that way as an endearing reminder of our brotherhood... Like, 'HI HI', or 'Destinated here' and the 5 minuet long '73 monologue' or the really weird 'dit dit' to end a QSO.....
I did - I rarely, if every watch UTOOB videos, especially talking heads, posted on the Zed that do not have accompanying text that would give me a reason to watch Just the same - Thanks for getting back to me on this - yours would be one of very few channels that do not. I did find this interesting "My conclusion is that Ham Radio isn't a big enough video market... for me, and apparently anyone who wants to make it more than a 'pays expenses' hobby-business (or pure hobby). I cut back the effort of making most HamRadioNow shows to a few hours of recording and minimal editing (talking-head shows), and that cut the audience down to between one and three thousand for most shows. That's actually pretty good for most 'vanity' podcasts, but not good enough to keep me in the game." (Qlog — HamRadioNow) A very interesting set of posts.
Every ham Sqeezes a Key ... whether it be telegraphic or a microphone key . Or even when using a devise to Key up a rig .
I had to listen for over 20 minutes before you got to the subject matter of the subject advertised for the video. UNLIKE!!!! 73 de AB9NN
