True that! After playing around hacking and cracking P25 encryption using state of the art Software Radio, and then co-authoring a paper on it and also showing it off at hacker conferences in front of the Feds, I was somewhat stressed out and needed something simple to play with.Mike Alpha wrote:You're getting old Mattcitabria wrote:After playing with UHF/VHF for 15 years or so on and off, this HF thing has really got my interest!
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call Morse Code.citabria wrote:True that!

So I bought a HF radio and a morse code key - its actually really good fun and a nice skill to have.
Now thats one thing I was really interested in when I bought the IC7000 - but I never hear anyone using RTTY...ivahri wrote:The beauty of the IC7000 is that it has a RTTY decoder- I sometimes let it run to see who still uses RTTY.
