We REAL telegraphers KNOW that you need a 'singing wire' strung on wooden poles planted in buffalo dung for genuine Morse Code communication to happen. CW is NOT Morse Code and is the equivalent of QRM in the hard wired communication field. Excuse me now, I have to practice my Western Union splices again....where are those spurs.. mike |
