Yee Haw! Let's hear it for an outdated and "unuseful" communication mode.

Now if I could just get myself to use it :)

Subject: [6 Meter Sked] CW vs Text Messaging

For those who missed it last night on Leno, good ole Morse Code (CW) won out
over text messaging....
Here is a link to view/download it at:
http://www.tarc.org/index.php?load=leno  About 13 MB so if you are dialup,
prepare to wait...

BTW the Morse code team consisted of Chip Margelli K7JA and Ken Miller K6CTW
dressed in old telegraph operator outfits.
Chip and Ken do a lot of contests and DXpeditions. Chip is also a high level
manager with Yaesu USA, which sells amateur/ham as well as commercial 2way
gear. Joe Drago, props manager for the sho,w is KF6OCP.

This is the 2nd time in a row CW has beaten the best in text
messaging.....and the message sent this time was hilarious!!
