If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

Getting rid of CW is like choosing the kind of film.
Ham radio is drowning and the anti-code hams want us to think
tossing it bricks will make it float better. Dumbing things down is
never an improvement.
nobody is talking about dummbing anything down
you are
indeed you advocate dummbing down radio and giving hf only to the
unintelgent
SC
Knowing CW is NO indication of any level of intelligence, technical or
otherwise!
BTW film is seeing it's last days too. Ask Kodak!
