I enjoy CW too. I use it all the time. I use analog modulation on my CW instead of the digital OOK like others use. It's all AM. Heard you on 75 meters the other evening Jack. Good signal. You were calling CQ. I gave you a call but some 9-lander beat me. Maybe next time. Title: Re: Enough DaVinci! How about 'The Morse Code'?

Believe it or not, I was running a little PW rig. It is a Stancor ST-203A transmitter (1948 mobile rig) A single 2E26 mod by pr of 6V6s...12 Watts to the antenna!! I worked all over the place with that little rig........amazing what you can do when the band is open. Condx were really great this weekend. 73, Jack, W9GT Title: Re: Enough DaVinci!

Post by: Rob K2CU on November 10, 2006, 11:56:41 AM That's International Morse code....a modifed version ofthe original Morse code that he had created for telegraph operators. It had several different sequences of elements for some of the letters, and also had an additional element, the long dash. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
Anyone else ever watch the Brit mystery "Morse"....had m o r s e slowly spelled out in the theme song. |
