You can hear the change in noise as a carrier goes on and off. It's
extremely difficult to copy high speed CW like that if the signal is

noise as it is to copy as a pure tone. T1 doesn't mean uncopyable, it
just means ragged tone.

So now amateurs and SWL's should be Morse code proficient
not only using tones but using the swishing sound made when
a BFO is not present?

CM,

OK - Lets make "CW" 5 WPM a High School Graduation Requirement
and Start the Nation-Wide Testing of Every Child at Every Grade Level
to Ensure that Our Kids Know "CW" ! ! !

We can call it the Uniform Education "Code" {CW} Law -and-
Require that No Child Is Left Behind the "CW" Learning Curve !

Why should only White Males 'know' CW ? ? ?
Equality Demands that Women and Minorities "Know" CW Too ! ! !
- - - We need an Urgent National Federally Funded Program
to Close the "CW" Gap [.]

oops - am i ranting ? ? ? . . . oh never mind ! ~ RHF

I wonder how many a retired old-timer who decided to join ham radio
stroked out instead while doing speed runs trying to get to 13/20wpm on
CW?

CW kills.

Many ham are American Red Cross first aid and adult CPR instructors.

That trumps CW at any speed.

lol thank you for that

I guess saving lives is saving lives only when it uses CW. Those
firemen are way out of their league when compared to this bunch.

not even the Ham Code matter to them only CW

Part of that code is honesty. How honest is it to memorize answers to
a test?

How honest is it to memorize Morse code? Or should
Morse code be derived from first principles?

Lets face it folks to be a well rounded Ham one should learn CW. You never
know when it will come in handy. I am not that good at it, maybe a step or
less above a Novice, but I like to fool around with it. One ought to think
about learning it in do time even though it is not required.
My 2 cents worth.

Survival of the fittest.

The fit get a ham license. All the rest get cell phones, CB, and shortwave
listening.
