I won't blame contesters but contest activities are, in my view, suppressing conversation on CW in double ways. One is occupying time and bands during contests. The other is advocacy for contest style QSOs. I berlieve we should analyze it, not staying observing it as a general phenomenon of participation. <br /><br />Shin Shin JA1NUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887476281297960362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-52268232501823715092014-04-28T09:56:52.379+09:002014-04-28T09:56:52.379+09:00Conversational CW will die only as a result of lac...Conversational CW will die only as a result of lack of participation. From my point of view, it will continue to live as long as I do. After that, I would have to contemplate whether it's important to me. My guess is not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-28480001207573718282014-04-27T08:33:16.658+09:002014-04-27T08:33:16.658+09:00Dan

They are concerned about only how many QSOs they would make. Not quality of a QSO but only quantity of QSOs is pursued. Sadly enough, I agree the conversational CW is going to die. <br /><br />ShinShin JA1NUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887476281297960362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-13201540129951911292014-04-27T04:50:26.734+09:002014-04-27T04:50:26.734+09:00Shin,

I believe they simply have no idea of BK's appropriate use or perhaps think it makes them sound like they are good Ops. It is unfortunate that the presence of such operators has spawned a new generation that think it's a correct way to operate. I was always a fan of true QSK and used it night after night in a conversational mode with my friends and new saavy CW ops. We never used BK. It was clear from the content of the conversation when to comment or change "speakers." The heart of conversational CW is close to dead now. All we can do is carry on wiwth the best practices we can and hope it rubs off. Cheers de K2YWEdanzeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757030266056063480noreply@blogger.com
