sad end of radio era.
My dad was a radio operater and partrooper inW.W.II.i tried to get him to teach me morse code.he said it represents many men killed in war. Sorry im trying to forget morse code
That’s what people say to me about CB...dead technology. I pffft at them.
CW is dead only as long as we have a continuous power grid on a national or global level on the planet, and with a cable system or possibly a cell system to enable free communication. If an Asteroid, Bolide, Comet or new World War (god forbid) struck — we’d be back to low power CW so fast you wouldn’t have time to touch “end.”
No doubt, Sunbulls, my family will have to pry it from my cold dead hands. 9-1-1 was a classic example and it was a temporary situation. The cell system was so overwhelmed here in the Mid-Atlantic that area hams had to roll up with emergency equipment to fill the gap for the Pentagon. I think as licensed Amateurs and other services we need to always keep this in mind. Course, forgive me because I realize I’m preaching to the choir.
My grandfather was a radio op in a wwii navy bomber. Gave up flying but never code. If he needed to get from new england to California he would drive. Ran strait key till he died. Had no use for those modern paddles or phone. I imagine he was one of the grumpy old men who wrote angry letters to the FCC about making Tech No Code
