child raper!
I do woger

Markie admits it!

I also have mastered CW very well and have used it many times in weak
signal work on 2 meters. I have an Advanced license and never felt the
need yo go beyond if for my purposes.

As to whether I still feel it's a hugh priority, no I don't.

With today's modes of communication it does seem out-moded.

My typing is better than ever and many new modes use a keyboard. :-)

Slow Code is not a true Ham. From the time the first Ham was born
true Hams have always used the latest and newest technology. Slow
seems to be stuck back in the stone age , still using 4 pins vacuum tubes.

Some of us move on to the latest technologies, but also have a feel for our
roots.

It never needs to be one or the other.

With the Internet, Cell Phones, etc; many could say "a lot" of the modes are
"outdated" - not just "CW". RTTY is a prime example, E-Mail has surpassed
that by far - yet there are die-hards who love it and use it. Same with the
other "digital" modes. Packet is even still used! Code doesn't have to go by
way of the dinosaur - but still - it is only as useful as many want it to
be. Hell, some may say 2 meters is ancient!

The catch phrase is - to each his/her own. Whatever mode you enjoy - DO IT!
Do check out the others too - as you may find you like more than one - but
don't beat someone else up - simply because they don't use the one "you"
advocate.

As to Mr SC, he's never proven himself a ham - one way or another. How do WE
even know HE passed a code exam? We don't. Furthermore - the argument is a
moot point. IF the FCC drops it, there's not a damned thing we're going to
do. Also, CODE - regardless what some would like to think - does NOT keep
the riff raff off the bands - it was there LONG before NO CODES came to be.
MANY of them were Generals, Advanced and Extras. I KNOW - I was an Official
Observer and sent MANY notices. So, I don't even want to hear that CODE is
the saving grace of Ham, it is not. It is the PSYCHE of EACH OF US - to
decide to keep it clean OR not. END OF STORY.

You Earned that right too, when you passed the 20 wpm code test, and
you should flaunt it around like I do. Here are some ideas I like:

No-code hams should have to stand up salute when you walk into a room,
even ones in wheelchairs.

You get to sit in a chair at club meetings and if all the chairs are
taken you can make a no-code or nickel ham sit on the floor.

First in line for the refreshments, ahead of the 13wpm hams and the
nickel hams is always nice too. Don't forget your cattle prod.

73 to you my extra class friend, you earned it. Everyone else these
days just wants a welfare handout license.

even you admited you are a bad ham

you have also admitted you want to kill Ham radio



Even the ones in wheelchairs...


Now, get me some coffee and cookies, then sit over there on the floor.
