What can be passed by CW that cannot be passed by voice???
any traffic to be passed by many OT station can only be passed by CW
since they rfuse to use that new fangled device the microphone even to
save lives
Adhere to the ICAO's phonetic alphabet, and there need be no
bi-lingualism nor a CW requirement.
When things start failing communication wise worldwide, amateur radio
might be all there is to relay messages, and the ITU just removed one of
the legs of a three leg stool.
Dear Slow, air traffic controllers don't use Morris Code, and they
communicate with foreign speakers JUST FINE!
but SC can't speak to anybody on air and he neds code testing to allow
him more person to berate
He's just another grumpy old ham.
