Don't want to continue to side-saddle the "Speaker" thread. Jim, I had it worse, being a conditional and living overseas. I had to find a chance to fly back to the states and then take 3 tests. Made

That's also true here in Silicon Valley, where young Turks N6ML,N6NUL, and N6WM are no-code Extras with great CW chops and first rate contesters. These guys are smart computer engineers, and none are

Just goes to show that not having a mandatory code test doesn't mean people won't choose to learn & use CW. That's also true here in Silicon Valley, where young Turks N6ML,N6NUL, and N6WM are no-code

There is a difference between "no code" and "know code". As to the operators, potentially no difference. Although I've come across some 20 WPM Extra's that are more of a "lid" operator than some of t

Right on. The mandatory CW test is water under the bridge. Good operators such as the ones Jim mentioned are learning and using CW on their own, because it's fun to use and effective for contesting a

So true. I became a ham a year ago specifically to be a CW op. Granted I learned CW in the Navy over 40 years ago and it was fairly easy (?) for me to pick it up again, but for me CW is everything I

I wasn't aware of the fact that so many hams in other countries have US callsigns. But I'm not familiar enough with the regs that allow it. Here's another way that the numbers are growing: many first

I do know a lot of money went to ham clubs for their emergency services a few years ago when pactor digital messaging got going. Millions in fact for large e comm vans and trucks, transceivers, gener

Here is a link to a graph of the number of field day participants over the years. This may be a bit more representative of the number of active hams than the number of licensees. http://members.shaw.

Darrell, That is an interesting statistic, but I don't think it is representative of the number of active hams. I bet I know more hams who don't contest than I do contesters. And I'm an active contes
