MASSENA -- Some J.W. Leary Junior High School students have discovered the
joys of communication using technology that's more than 170 years old.
Seventh-grade social studies teacher Tony Cafarella has incorporated Morse
code and ham radio into his class as an after-school activity. Students
with parental permission, under the supervision of Mr. Cafarella, a
licensed ham radio operator, can talk to various countries and log the
contact on a map, gaining a sense of geography and science. They're also
learning from scratch how to interpret the dots and dashes of Morse code.
