Like I said when the big BANG comes the Appliance operator and his data 
gadgets will be rendered useless, whereas a Radio Amateur with his 2 valved 
RX/TX, a morse key, a piece of wire for antenna and a pedal powered power 
source will communicate on.
We all managed to commumicate and navigate this past 100 years without these 
gadgets, unfortunately today the majority seem to be totally dependant on 
computers and associated data devices. These gadgets are handy but make a 
person LAZY and forgetful about how to write and operate CW as a tool to 
communicate.

Perhaps we should encourage a Loran jamming excercise to prove that it
isn't the un-jammable marvel that its cracked up to be?
