[Fists] Digital QRM?

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

In the old days, hams used to pass a "real" code test where they had to copy
13 wpm to get on h. f. bands - they were required to write it down.

Most digital operators turn OFF the audio - as it is all "just noise".

So they don't hear.

One of the ways I can tell when I visit the shack of a ham if he is a CW 
operator (at least at heart) is that he LISTENS to the digital signals!

So far, I've always been right - if I hear the speaker, he is a CW guy.
