Morse code is no longer a requirement as has been noted. But it sure is fun.
I've been struck by the younger hams around here getting interested in
learning Morse/cw even though it is not a requirement. It's fun playing
with very simple minimalist digital signal processing using the ears.
just missed Will Donzelli, he's off on a equipment
run out west, and I
know he's huge into HAMfest stuff so I'll also see if I can catch up
with him once he's back, maybe it will be good for me to go to hamfest
and see some stuff as well... So packet is the same as the old x.25
ax.25 Hamradio used a variation of x.25
protocols?!??! If so, that's great as I used to
work with that stuff
many years ago, so I think I should be able to get up to speed in a
couple of months, I'll take a look at what you've liked, thanks Tom!
psk31 is absolutely amazing as is WSJT/JT65. (I'd have to plug those)
If you can find a local club that builds stuff, that will help alot.
