A fantastic tale in its day but back to present day what is the benefit? I
think you will find most people will know you can say anything via Morse
just like you can talking so being amazed at what can be passed via Morse
seems a strange thing to highlight. You can pass much more information by
talking. In the past fair enough but times have moved on. Morse is now an
out-dated form of communication practised now by just radio Amateurs.
To any Amateurs who like Morse then that's fine for them. They will learn it
and use it where they like and I have no problems at all about that. But...
to ramble on about it constantly and belittle anyone not really interested
in "just the Morse" side of radio is a bit unfair branding them as inferior
radio users (not aimed at you personally here) Amateur radio can still be a
fascinating Hobby without it, or as I would like, not a forced issue but one
of choice.

Graham

Didn't take you long to reply. Who's ingesting alcohol? I've to go to
work
tomorrow morning (like 5:00 AM). What is your excuse?

Wow thats early. I dont need to get into work until 8am. Not a dustman are
you?

I've put perfect copy on paper using a manual typewriter at 40 words per
minute. A number of minutes' worth. My mention of 40 or 50 words per
minute was a reference to some of the wonder boys whose great exploits
simply consist of 'cut and paste' on the Internet.

If that is adiquate then whats wrong with cut and paste? Only an idiot would
sit there re-typing out something that could just as easily be cut and
pasted unless it was an original work of course.

I'm simply saying that a good operator can likely keep up with most folks
that are trying to enter original content and not simply pass along a
digital picture, or a 'cut-and-paste' from someone else.

A good operator? Depends on your impression of a good operator. A good
operator to me is someone who uses the radio sensibly, stays legal and cares
about interference and deals with it if caused. Someone who goes on about
ooh i can do this or i can do that trying to put themselves above other
operators in my opinion have a vanity problem. As far as pictures go id
rather use the internet as its a more appropriate media for that.

Then again, original content might be something you aren't familiar with.

Hello, Graham

I also do not see the need to force cw on anyone. Still, when one attempts
to tell me that more information can be passed via voice, I can only agree
if the communications is something like "meet me at Joe's bar at 10:00 PM".

If there is something like "medium pizza with cheeze and sausage to 1235 W.
Cauncy Blvd", then someone is going to have to write down that information.
This *will* slow the maximum data transfer to what can be put on paper.
Assuming one is not connected to the Internet where they can simply print
the information, I must admit that I cannot print nor write as fast as I can
copy cw to a keyboard (or typewriter). In that case, cw might be as
efficient as anything else. This is, of course, a questionable case.

The time I mentioned (the perfect copy at 40) was a weather bulletin which
gave latitude, longitude, and a multitude of other data to boot. This
could, of course, be transmitted by voice, but would absolutely *have* to be
put on paper (unless someone had a photographic memory that *never* made a
mistake). In that case, sans digital data transmission (citor, amtor,
teletype, or whatever), voice could not possibly be faster as it had to be
put to paper.

In this case, the limit would be how fast this could be transcribed to
paper.

In closing, I would reiterate that I agree about cw should not be a forced
issue. My only issue is that some folks feel that it is terribly slow.
Compared to the Internet or other digital transmissions, sure. Compared to
voice .... it all depends
