[Moon] Rant, Rattle and Roll?

[PETER HUTCHISON]

Hi all,

Well, with an attitude like that no wonder beginners like myself are put off trying CW!!

Each to his / her own but this is not the place to rant on about your pet hate. Peter, it does you no service whatsoever.

I guess I will never see you off the moon - not that it really bothers me!

As a relative newcomer I wish to put on record the superb help and assistance I've had from members of this forum. I fear that this type of vitriol will cause people to leave and we all be poorer for that.

To infinity and beyond....

Peter G4URT

Subject: [Moon] Deep Search IS cheating
 

Fellow Moonbouncers,

Many moons ago a famous scientist, Joe Taylor K1JT, decided that all CW EME
operators were/are cheating, so why not create a software that is cheating. 

So he did, he came up with a cheating software that he said had 4-6dB mor
"sensitivity". People bought his bollocks and DXCC awards for 2m have been
flooding out from the ARRL headquarters ever since. 

Higher bands will follow the trend as there are now new protocols in the
JT-package that are cheating, some of them in an somewhat different way
than Deep Search. However, still cheating to make contacts.

The decision to create a cheating routine in JT65 was totally outrageous,
and an pure insult to operators who work EME by the established rules. One
of Joe Taylors reason for creating the cheating routine was that "modern
operators don't have the patience to wait for the fully received message to
appear on the screen" as it did in JT44.

Since the beginning, Bernd DF2ZC has been acting as K1JT's attorney,
defending his cheating Master by passing on the myth that all CW EME
operators cheat. In his opinion Deep Search all "legal". Of course Bernd is
of that opinion, it quickly got him DXCC on 2m. Fame...

But let me tell you, his Master and the inventor of Deep Search is guilty
as charged, Deep Search is cheating, big time. No matter what his attorneys
say. It should never have been accepted. The Magistrates' Court of CW has
decided that this is the case.

Yes Bernd, the earth if flat, and the sun is circling around us until it
pops under the edge, that is for sure, I see this every day.

And CW is King! Of course! Any callsign, any message, just listen and
decode. Mr S Morse sure knew what he was doing. He was not a cheater, by
any means. He gave us the king of tools to communicate with.

ZUT!
