The neat thing about all the "new" stuff is its just a layer on top of the old stuff. If you think about it, CW is just a data mode you can grok with your ear.

The neat thing about all the "new" stuff is its just a layer on top of the old stuff. If you think about it, CW is just a data mode you can grok with your ear. using cw skimmer and computers to send you can operate CW without even needing to grok. makes the qrp bit harder, as you have to hulk a device with you. some of the radios have rtty and psk built in (like the elecraft kx3) so you can use a keyboard or keyer to input your messages.
