Reason #1: Before the days of "electronic precision" in keying, Morse
was a manual art. An operators fist was a second "signature", and many
operators cultivated a distinctive style. This was especially true
where more than one operator shared a single call sign. You could tell
who was on watch at KFS by the fist of the operator.

The need or desire to develop a distinctive style because of a shared
call sign should not have had much play in the amateur service where
each operator is assigned a unique call sign.

If you wish to speak of other services morse code use, then there are
other venues for that.

Brain, just last week you chastised several of us for trying to inhibit
Lennie's rhetoric based upon your broad interpretation that this (RRAP) is a
"radio" forum, not just an Amateur forum.

Now you are trying to re-write your own policy here.

Some of that "NCTA Double Standard", no doubt.

Yet another Brainism.

Steve, K4YZ

go thru to get on the air. There were neighborhood radio clubs which
didn't allow full voting memberships to Novices and Techs . . .

And in the mid-60s there were still some who did similar things. Indeed, there
were Advanceds who looked down on Generals, Generals who looked down on
Conditionals, Conditionals who looked down on Techs, and Techs who looked down
on Novices. Etc.

And it wasn't just kids vs. adults, either.

Yessir, It's 2004 and it's **still** out there. Guy was up late last
year for the vote on approving his membership application into The
Group (the 43rd & Kingsessing "Group" we're both familair with yes?)

You mean the one where the attendance sheet looks like the DXCC Honor Roll?

and somebody asked "what license class does he have?" His sponser:
"Uhhh . . Advanced." Then he ducked. Immediate 180dBA noise level from
the Back Benchers, "what the hell is this guy's problem?"

Well, what IS his problem?
