but you can get a 5wpm morse test
after 4weeks practice 30minutes a day.

not much effort is it ?
but it is enough to cause 2500 to go away

Been happening here for years- even when we had a written exam and

REFUSAL TO SIT MORSE JOKE APPRECIATION = NO LICENCE AT ALL.

Probably the 'worst' period of behaviour
in the UK hobby was the mid / late 70s- at which time there was still the
written exam.

The ham community
screamed bloody foul when the ARRL institued "incentive" licensing. Now
they're screaming foul because there isn't "incentive" licensing.

Odd, we have the same.
INCENTIVE?

I've not heard anyone 'whining' about wanting to get the UK equivalent,
having gone through the other stages. Quite the converse.

I've got a batch of amateurs taking the UK Advanced exam on Monday- we are
already looking for things to study next. Morse is on the list of
possibles. (even though it isn't required any more here), as is taking the
US exams.
MORSE ?

oh of course...
....after all you have sat the

then again....its ONLY " on the list of possibles "

Actually, to keep this in context, who the hell cares whether other
radio services still use Morse code regularly or not. We in the
Amateur Service DO still use it regularly. Surely that is what is
of significance, n'est pas?

Agreed, and ( some are definitely not going to like this semaphore
is still used in the RN but largely between the RN and RFA to pass
personal messages between COs during refuelling. This won't go on

And you dont need to be able to read morse at anything like

There is no morse test for cpl anymore

Fantasy. I just asked if semaphore was used anymore FOR FUN.
AND I clearly said that a few loons may well be doing that.

After all, some do some quite remarkably silly things
FOR FUN like train spotting, bird spotting, etc etc etc
and it wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if someone
is still foisting it on kids in the sea scouts etc even now.

semaphore is still used in the RN but largely between the RN and
RFA to pass personal messages between COs during refuelling.

Why instead of those light systems whatever they are called ?

This won't go on forever as semaphore is no longer a compulsory
part of the signallers trade (unlike Morse code) but, as long as there
are those who want to learn it, there will be an avenue for its use.

More completely irrelevant waffle. Nothing to do with that stupid
claim you made about lifeguards still using semaphore. They dont.

Where did I say that?

Says he carefully deleting from the quoting what was said.

Another flagrantly dishonest arsehole.

What I said was "The signals they (the lifeguard equivalents)
use are called "landing signals". They differ somewhat from
semaphore, but the principal is the same."

Pity the principle is completely different. Landing signals DO
NOT spell out the message letter by letter. Semaphore does.

Thats not what you said initially, you flagrantly dishonest arsehole.

In that they are both waving arms/flags etc. about they are the
same, but the meaning of the movements are quite different.

So the 'principal' is nothing like the same. The ONLY similarly
is that arms and flags are normally used and flags arent usually
used with landing signals, normally just arms.

Particular arm positions in semaphore mean different
characters, unlike landing signals, where each
"arm position" means a different action should be taken.

What the fuck is the point in repeating what I already said, fuckwit ?

You were always just plain wrong with your original claim that there
is any 'principal' in common between semaphore and landing signals.
