The question kind of states it. I suppose that the BW might be wider as
the speed increases.

Mike, I believe the bandwidth actually decreases as the speed increases.

The reason I ask is that on 3580 tonight, we're all sitting there fat,
dumb, and happy, when W1AW starts it's CW broadcast. And it's some 700
kHz wide!!! And now I'd swear it's almost 3kHz wide. That's like SSB!!!

Needless to say, their strong signal was pretty tough on all us 5 and
ten watters. you could get most of a message through, but it took a lt
of the fun out of it.

Bummer, hope it was just a one-time anomaly.

What the heck , over?

A one time anomaly????? W1AW is a bulletin station. Been there, on or
about for 90 years.

Geez Dan, I thought it might've been a malfunction at W1AW...hence the
"anomaly" statement.

I was kind of hoping that it was a problem too. I've seen other CW
signals on the waterfall, and they aren't that wide or nasty looking.
Hopefully W1AW has been putting out a better looking signal for most of
thos 90 years! 8^)

Actually about 66 years (1938). In all that time there have been only three
main rigs - the original rackpanel jobs, the 1960s ones installed about the
time the "new" Hq building went up, and the Harris setup from the mid-90s
renovations. Something like 25-30 years of service per setup.

Trivia Quiz:

There was an ARRL HQ station before W1AW. What was its callsign?

There's a second callsign for the ARRL lab. What is/was it?

W1MK, I think located near Brainard Field, Hartford.

You are correct, sir! Heavily damaged in the flood of '36, as I recall.

More trivia: There is an IARU HQ call sign. What is it? While it may
have a certain familiarity about it, especially the suffix, what is the
significance of the prefix?

4U1ITU is the station of the International Amateur Radio Club at ITU
HQ in Geneva ... I've operated the station. The significance of the
prefix is that 4U's are UN callsigns.

I'm not speaking of the ITU but the IARU (not the same thing at all). The
IARU HQ station is not associated with the UN (nor the ITU) so does not have
a "4U" prefix.
