Here is one example where its bad for image of the ARS. I mentioned that I
had
a Ham radio license to someone. He asked me if they still used Morse code.
He
also said its obsolete and even the military does not use it.
Just shows how ignorant he is. Special Forces still learn it and use it as
they may need to operate low power and be stealthy.
Once you learn Morse code above a certain speed, you cannot forget it. I
don't
want to permanantly remember code. Then even if I don't like it, I'm stuck
with
it.
Specious argument. At 5wpm, it's easy to forget after the test. Even
though higher speeds do lead to permanently remembering it, it's hardly in
the forefront of the brain. It recedes to the background to lie dormant
until wanted or needed. The effect is nearly the same as forgetting since
it will not resurface until triggered by use.
I am very willing to do my part on technical projects. I even put an ad
for it.
I got only two responses. After a lack of resources, I couldn't continue
it. If
more people were interested, then I would be willing to put in the time
and
effort to get some of these projects going.
Two is plenty for a first effort. You should have continued. Every journey
begins with the first step. In my areas of interest, I will work with
whoever is interested even if it is only one person.
