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. === A lot of marine nav aids use morse identifiers also, as do many FM repeater stations of various types. Many of you probably remember "SW Tom" who used to post here until 'Airree drove him off. Tom can copy 40 WPM in his head. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
