As you no doubt recall, back in the 50's and 60's one could tune across the Ham CW bands and recognize friends by their fists without ever listening for a call.
I find the CW bands sound rather 'sterile' today. I imagine the phone band equivalent would be if every station used digitally created voice instead of humans talking. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- The good news is that I learned to recognize ships by their sound and ops by their fist before I ever heard their call. :-) The surprising thing to me then and still now is that the ham CW bands were filled with generally stable signals, some mild chirps occasionally, and a few key clicks ... and generally very good fists if the ships were to be the standard. They still are. 73, Fred K6DGW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
