#morsecode

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Recently started learning #morsecode , although it's completely useless to me. Sometimes it helps to understand why things developed like they did when you go back in time, when remote communication started. And I love having a #lowtech fallbacks.

It's like learning #ed in order to understand concepts of #vim.

The monthly CWops Solid Copy newsletter was just published. Always a good read for anyone interested in Morse code (CWops members or not). In this issue, there's the story of how a couple of friends helped twenty year old blind ham Jenna, N4JEH to set up a station in her dorm room, so she can finally get on the air while studying away from her home (shack): cwops.org/current-month/ #morsecode #hamradio (Edit: Fixed link to current month's issue)
