It was a hobby that never grabbed me although I was tempted when my code was good enough to get a basic ticket and the GI bill would pay for some of the stuff. Now I struggle with SOS ;-) Let's see if this works. Try going here and see if you can copy it. https://soundcloud.com/user-702129253/morsecode Not a clue, I picked out a few letters but I couldn't get it to play again. I may play with it again later. 50 years ago I would have been all over that but there are quite a few things I could do 50 years ago that I struggle with now ;-) We had to do 6 wpm to get out of boot camp and I was around the RMs at the Bainbridge NTC who were tapping things out on the table everywhere they went but I never did it again. Does anyone actually use morse these days? I just looked at the tabs on the Nav Aids to see what the code we were sending. Probably still used as identifiers on a lot of airplane navigation aids. |
