[Allied] One Man's Attempt To Save Morse Code

[kd4e]

Nothing wrong with using code, though it may be instructive
that it required a government mandate to continue to be
popular.  It is now on an equal plane with the other modes,
a free versus a compelled choice. Freedom is good.

Perhaps he should broaden his experiential horizons?

He used to fly model rockets, why not try stuffing a
tiny ATV camera into one and see what he can see?

Or bounce signals off the moon and satellites?

Or help with the all-RF HF E-mail project for post-
disaster comms?

Or one of the many many exciting avenues available to
Hams.

How sad when such a bright man cannot see beyond a
single operating mode and would give up on a wonderful
hobby when other Hams choose to be more versatile and
creative rather than lock-down into a solitary mode.
