[QUOTE="Free Trapper, post: 3196473, member: 26381"] Congragulations to all new hams!! No, I'm not gonna moan and groan how us old timers had to pass a 13wpm code test for General and a 20 wpm word test for Extra. I would however, suggest that all you learn Morse. It is my favorite mode and a lot of fun. I understand some of the LRP's and Special Forces still use some cw in the field....but I may be wrong as I haven't heard anything reliable in some years. Here is one of the variations of the "knee key" used on patrol and recon....it is also excellent for cutting off your circulation after about 30 minutes :) [ATTACH=full]130573[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
