[Beloved Leader]

Does anyone bother with semaphore anymore ? Spose some loons might.

Lifeguards.

 

[zpk]

Maybe not, but with the ITU saying that CW is no longer a necessity, it wont
be long before the new generation of hams decide its all too much
trouble....

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.

I think your thinking is too narrow.

Not a shred of evidence that you are actually capable of rational thought.

When your assault group or raiding party is dropped off at night
from its parent group (operating in total electronic blackout) just
outside the enemy littoral, how do you think they all communicate?

They dont use semaphore.

I'll be willing to bet that smoke signals. hand
signals, carrier pigeons, and a whole raft of
non-electronic communications aids are used,

More fool you. Only hand singles are.

And that's got absolutely NOTHING to do with what was
commented on there, THE USE OF THOSE FOR FUN.

including morse lamps and semaphore.
Bullshit.

Signallers are prized members of such specialist groups.

Bullshit. That aint semaphore.

Lifeguards use hand signals, a different thing entirely.

MORSE...let them use it.
I don't use Morse, but it doesn't bother me if others do.

*At night*? Do you guys light yourselves up first so your party (and the
enemy) can see you do the hokey-pokey, smoke a bong and release the hounds -
I mean, carrier pigeons - first?

This is a mildly amusing thread, but this sub-thread is well into the
ridiculous.

I wish you would all learn to LIVE AND LET LIVE...if people wish to use
MORSE...let them use it.

Note that many hundreds of thousands of people still carry morse code receivers in their pockets.
When a SMS message arrives, their mobile phone beeps "... -- ..." (SMS).

Every heard of battery powered radio's?

I'll be willing to bet they don't.

Not these days.

And hardly any of them realise that and dont need to.

 

[Rod Speed]

I wish you would take Comprehension 101 a few hundred
times and realise that what was being discussed was
how much morse gets used today and not whether those
tho like it are welcome to use it as much as they like.

if people wish to use MORSE...let them use it.

How does MORSE feel about being used ?

Does he end up feeling a bit tacky afterwards ?

I don't use Morse, but it doesn't bother me if others do.

Rather pathetic, really.

This is no laughing matter, boy.

Yeah, thats why they are doing so badly in Iraq, stupid.

This is a mildly amusing thread, but this
sub-thread is well into the ridiculous.

You get no say what so ever on that or anything else at all. Ever.

And dont you forget it.

THE USE OF THOSE FOR FUN.

I don't remember the 'FUN' requirement, could you repost it for me?

TIA.

Oh dear.....

Bullshit. That aint semaphore.

Lifeguards use hand signals, a different thing entirely.

Over here they are called coastguards, coastwatch and the RNLI. The signals
they use are called "landing signals". The differ somewhat from semaphore,
but the principal is the same.

I hold an extra class license but I don't have a clue how to cook rice.

It's a lot like being an "appliance operator" on the HF bands...

1) Get a rice cooker
2) Plug it in
3) Add rice and water according to chart
4) Plug it in

Or twice as much water as rice. (2 cups for one cups, etc.)

Crap. Semaphore spells out the message letter
by letter, like morse does, but using arms/flags etc.

Signal flags are nothing like semaphore
either and are still used to some extent.

That's it, you've done it now. He's got to run the "D" up the flagstaff, or
possibly the "N" and "C" combination.
