CW ? good heavens no , why I was using CW on
500 the other day till next door
switched there festive flashing lights on
and reduced the episode to a total nonsense
! though come to think of it , the signals
where strong enough to of used one of the
spread spectrum data modes and would not
of noticed the hash ! and live CW in
the mariana trench is virtually un heard of , in
all my listening , I can remember one
station calling with live CW on 136 , I
think a GM , years ago ? since then
the orange people have taken over, using
the 'one eyed monsters' ( sea versions ? or c++ ) !
I think 500 should be looked on as the
next band down from 160 , we have
proved there is nothing magical about the band ,
40 feet of wire with a coke bottle on the
end has crossed the pond , with wspr ,
ros-mf-7 and opera modes , ok it took 750
feet of wire to get a live CW contact
with Newfoundland , but that was with 50 watts ,
and hard work as no one knew where the
window was , so 4 of us spent hours taking it in
turns hand keying gb4fpr in the dead of night
..
I was thinking more of the orange light
brigade , with historical modes : )
new stations are starting to associate
low noise limited text length
modes which cannot pass the two
cat's and dog test with real keyboard
to keyboard data qso's . , even with the
prospect of a new band , there was not
even a hint of MF at the rsgb
convention in October , so what has happened
? what ever it is , there are going
to be a lot of new users very soon ,
the last thing anyone needs is a
re-run of 'Beacon Bedlam' brought on by miss
guided guidance !

Hi Graham
If that was a thinly veiled insult to CW then
I'm disappointed. Other modes require the one eyed
monster out of silicon valley and power hungry devices for machine-human interface need I say
more? Or have I read you wrong?

Its not the radio rooms Pete , its
the deep sea monsters rising from the
depths of over 2000 meters , some
over 37,000 metres and taking over
our 600 meter play pool with pre hysterical
modes !
