In the PAQSO Party, we like to encourage the use of OOK Morse.
What is OOK Morse, and how does it differ from regular Morse code?
I looked at the PAQSO Party site, and OOK is not defined.
Hi Dick,
OOK stands for On/Off keying Morse. It's really what most people call
CW. I think the distinction was made when some folks questioned the
distinction between Morse and CW, which technically speaking isn't
actually CW. Just kind of a semantics thing - I ended up settling on
OOK Morse - mostly anyhow - It's probably the most accurate. That
being said, everyone does know what we're talking about when we say
CW.
