spacesailor Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Never made the grade, Receiver only. QSL all the way to USA Then down to SouthAmerica ,Quito, I think, talking 40, odd years ago. When being taught Morse, I coulden,t keep a straight face as he whistled it, bloody budgie. Still have my Morse practice keys, two of course, and the Yaesu 7000 receiver. Then they changed the rules, having to go just above CB frequency, in metres of course. spacesailor
David2ayo Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Spacey, morse no longer required (although you can still use it) and with a fairly basic knowledge you can use a range of HF, VHF and UHF frequencies. Phil, is the number of each type of radio an indicator of how many you need to have ONE that still works? David VK2AYO
facthunter Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Morse was officially removed from use at some stage. All navaids had a morse ident which you had to have on in your headset if you were shooting an approach, though once you've idented it why a failure flag wouldn't be enough I don't know. I wouldn't be very fast in it now and most don't know it at all. Nev
old man emu Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 I tried to interpret a message in Morse once. It was so dashed hard, I almost went dotty.
