CW using pipes
I think you strike the pipe harder for a dash than for a dot. But the real
reason I jumped in was to tell a funny story. When I was in college 50 years ago I knew some of the local high-schoolers who were hams. One of them eventually came back here as a college professor. He told me how he and another of the kids were always getting in trouble at school for talking to each other. So they were put into separate classrooms with a wall between them. So they would carry on their conversation by tapping out Morse code on the wall. -- jhhaynes at earthlink dot net |

CW using pipes
Way back when, in HS math class, my ham friends and I would
communicate during class by tapping on our desk-tops. The instructor never caught on.....just wondered why he had such a nervous bunch of jerks in his class who couldn't stop tapping. Rick T.
