- "Former German ship's radio officer Sylvester F�cking (DH4PB) distributed
more than 700 copies of his CD-album "Radio Telegraphy Worldwide News." In
many letters the OM's confessed that they listened to the recordings with
"tears in their eyes," and raved about the tremendous periods of this
profession".
>From "Sparks what�s going on?, by Sylvester Poecking DH4PB.

- "My grandmother was born in 1877. That means that I personally knew and
spoke to a person who remembered the introduction of the electric light, the
telephone, the automobile, and world war. She knew her grandmother, who was
born in 1840, before the Civil War and before the invention of Morse code
and the electric telegraph. I'm 50 years old, and I knew someone who knew
someone who remembered the Civil War! The pace of change is so rapid now
that we tend to forget that we're only a few generations removed from a very
primitive lifestyle".
>From "CW - The Once and Future Mode, by Marshall G. Emm N1FN/VK5FN.

- "What do I like about FISTS and CW ?. Simply the friendship of the members
and the fact they will go out of their way, to assist newcomers, in the art
of communication by Morse Code. Add to that, the fact CW is STILL the
easiest and cheapest way for a NEW amateur to get on the bands, have a bit
of fun and work DX. - Nigel, ZL2TX.

amateur license"
by Andrew Roos, ZS1AN.

- "A number of Spanish-speaking pirate radio operators have been using 14000
kHz USB to chat with their friends. Some were identified as being in Chile.
As well, an automatic linking telephone operation in Colombia has been noted
in LSB on this frequency. While not, by definition, a source of interference
to the 20 m band, the lack of a guard band between this operation and
Amateurs at the low end of 20 m might become a technical problem.
