No, don't try and twist my words, I'm not that soft.
It isn't just the military as you well know, very few organistaions still use
CW.
I said make it "Optional", so if you wish to learn/use CW fine, just scrap the
ITU mandatory bit, which as it happens isn't really upto the ITU it is the
individual countries Radio Regs people. It is a silly thing anyway. If you
read my message about class "B" licence dfor above 30Mhz. You take a test and
if you pass, apply for your licence. You can then TX above 30Mhz, and yes
there is nowt to stop you using CW sent automaticly, silly or what
Reading one of your other messages, about failing the morse test in 49, was
it, I assume that you don't use morse.

Steve
