[SOC] CW on cel phones

[Charles Harpole]

Want teenagers to learn CW?  Put that function on the cel telephone.  Menu switch the # key to do the keying of CW and it automatically turns into TEXTING.  Fast, easy and no need to look at the tiny keyboard and fuss with hitting a key four times to get "S".
I asked Martti Lane, lately of Nokia and OH2 Big Ham, to put that on a trial model.  No answer.
Kids will always want to do what is secret and denied.  Get with that and they all become hams.  ARRL thinks like old men re teen recruitment.  Get Cameron to allow an Avatar to be a ham in a promotional video to give away, eh?
73 to the last of the breed (ending due to lack of imagination).
