Greetings Holger!

    EV>> I knew that You and some of the others here could decode my Morse   
    EV>> msg for the word  GRIN  without looking at a Chart, and to create a   
    EV>> puzzled look on the readers of my msg that feel like CW is a Lost   
    EV>> Art.   
      
   Today, CW is a lost art, with less and less amateurs able to copy it.   
      
    HG> In fact that means nothing to us that never had to read/write morse   
    HG> characters with dots and dashes on a paper. For my (and most others)   
    HG> learning morse by ear was the way we were taught and learned it.   
      
   In fact, learning to copy past the 'wall' at 13wpm wasn't as easy as it   
   was to learn to recognize words instead of characters. I'm so out of   
   practice these days that I don't remember Morse anymore.   
      
      
       Have a day!
