HA!!! :)
Dead only because of no-code licenses.
I'd guess it will be almost completely gone in another 20 or 30 years
as our generation goes SK. It will become a fringe niche like AM
phone. The good news is that it will only need about 25 KHz per
band.
NEVER!!!
Once you get hooked on the hi tech digital modes with excellent error
detection/correction, automated retry, adaptive speed/modulation, and
uncanny weak signal ability, it is really hard to look back.

I am truly amazed every time I see an error free EMAIL popping out of
the PACTOR from a barely audible signal. I will concede that being
able to build a low power CW transmitter from a bag of junk parts is
kind of interesting also, but it's like comparing a Model T with a
Ferrari. The Model T is interesting because it runs at all, and the
Ferrari is interesting because it runs so well.
A Ferrari is like a woman's reproduction system. It is very complicated
and seems like it is in the shop half of the time.
You mean that's it's in the shop every 27 days?
I must not have followed the proper maintenance schedule. I just rode
it hard and enjoyed the ride, forgetting that you need to follow a very
rigid maintenance schedule. Or maybe it just seemed it was broken half
the time.

Sounds like a Harley Davidson to me.

Very similar, but more fun.

A perfectly good thread about electronic communications ruined.

And it's all your fault.


Nope. Whoever started comparing Ferraris and Model Ts did it.


Well, there aren't any Canadians in the thread so I can't blame
Canada.

Also there aren't any Mexicans, Guatamalems, Costa Ricans, French,
Spanish, German, Russian, Chinese or Arabic speakers in the thread so
I can't blame any of them either.

That just leaves you and Reggie.

And I blame Reggie just because.


I think that's about as fair and balanced as you can reasonable expect to
get.

Why thank you so much!

I just returned from my 18 holes today. Seeing your greeting was nice.
