You mean you and Larry boy don't know semaphore Dick? Why that is
just
plain LAZINESS. You know, when conditions are so bad that you and
Larry have to rely on CW and your faithful CW rigs gives up the ghost
or conditions get SO bad that CW can't even get through you and Larry
could save the world by using semaphore, if you had that skill, that
is.

I have to presume by your comment, JJ that you indeed know semaphore.
Otherwise, you look stupid when you chastise them for a skill you
don't possess. And, of course -- I'm sure it's just plain LAZINESS on
your part. What else could it be?

Arnie, if learning semaphores had been a licensing requirement for the
ARS, I would have learned it along with lots of others, like it or not.
I sure wouldn't have sat on my backside for most of my lifetime carping
about how 'unnecessary' it all was to make me jump through some
"useless" hoop.
But of course semaphores have no application to radiocommunications,
as I
inferred, and JJ knows that, it's just all he could grope around and
come up with.



No true, what if the sound fails on your ATV setup and you are aboard a
sinking vessel? ROTFL
