    anyone. if you wanna learn. sending is easy. receiving is the hard part. and its not a lost art. its still very popular with ham or amateur radio operators. and it is a challenge. we called it "pounding brass" and, as you saw, it was faster than text msg. speed comes with practice.
    ........the real goal is to pass the general class test. then you can use voice (mic) and much more powerful transmitters. you've seen photos of my PC gear???? here's my shack photo's. note the addition of monitors:

    shacks

    the fun is of course sitting at home and talking to the world.

    It's also still used with radio navigation facilities for identification.

    BTW... if you ever talk with N4VIC let me know.

    general class. US call signs start with K or W.

    N4VIC should be foreign. here in the states "N" stands for novice.

    WN0MZG or KN0MZG for example
