band allocation
I had a morse key, sold it at a rally recently - got quite a lot for it
surprisingly. An old airforce brass pounder thing that some enthusiast
wanted.
I used to do CW occasionally. Once took part in
NFD (Farnborough club) station that came runner up on 80m back in the
early 1980's. That was my first and one and only exposure to contest CW
ever - wouldn't want to do that again, ever ever. Every bird
was sending its callsign for days afterwards.
Use CW on 10GHz when absolutely essential But I'd never
use that mode for choice now when efficient narrowband data modes do the
job a lot better.- its just not fun at all. I just do not like
it. So you people who do like to use CW, please stop digging at
those who take no pleasure in lilstening to on off tones and decoding by
ear.
Its not a case of "can't" , its "won't", do not like, using
CW not fun !
Mind you. there's only one data mode on 10GHz that is
useable when rainscatter comes into plays - that's JT4G with 315Hz tone
spacing. CW works almost as well, but I think JT4G still has the edge
when tones are spread out to 200Hz wide. S
Opera may work on 10GHz RS, have to try it one day.

This statement sounds like a self confessed Appliance
Operator Amateur you could at least try CW for a while. Intensely
dislike seems strong. I even tried Opera and do not dislike it or
any Data mode but I prefer CW where the skill of the operator is
evident when communicating instead of pressing GREEN for
tx and RED for stop and AMBER for wait incase of a DECODE as in
Appliance Operator.
I would encourage you to get a morse key and have a
Go, one has to be positive !!

That''s OK Dave, if Mal's opinion won the day, then this amateur
would never use the band. I will not use Morse. I intensely
dislike it So one way or the other one of us would populate
the frequency.
However, more than likely commone sense will prevail, as it always
seems to in the Am bands and operating in this country,

such a rule built into the permits for this band then this
amateur
for one will never consider using it.
