Hello
ZL1ANM about russian cw ops:
>Most of them are using keyboards/PC's, which doesn't involve a lot
>of skill.
Not sure how you figured it out but it does not seem to be true, as seen
from inside Russia. Keyboard has 100 keys, electronic morse key has only 2.
On a russian keyboard, each letter key has 2 letters - latin and cyrillic,
which makes it around 140 keys in total. For example, if you press the 'A'
key you may hear ._ or .._. depending on the language.
I guess it's a lot easier even for a non-russian to use elbug than kbd.
Or, did you mean we do it with kbd because we like to do it the hard way?
>How can you tell who the keyboard senders are? Easy.
>They're too lazy to hit the Space bar between words.
Well, I had a couple of kbd cw QSOs but I fail to understand why someone
ever has to press SPACE. Maybe because you can type faster than you can
send morse code, this is not the case here.
>They're too lazy to hit the Space bar between words.
Maybe even more lazy than that. We just sit and wait. :)
If indeed 'russian ops are good cw ops' is true (I'm sure it is) this is
not because we use keyboards, this is because we have more exercise,
we keep morse code as a requirement for a license, WE VALUE MORSE CODE.
73 .. Mike
