    He's got the rythm in his blood, he would probably make a top conductor in a philharmonic orchestra.

    Noticed that the operator takes his hand off the key between words. probably a great way to manage timing.

      Rubbish. The morse is superb. The guy has been doing this for years. Oh, and I do the same thing sometimes to help ensure spacing.

      It was just their going away message. Sure wish they were still around! I miss 500 KC at night time with all the call signs from so many parts of the Globe! We could always tell the Russian vessels, their transmitters were very unstable and the tone would change as the vessel was in the storms.I sent a message to a Coast Guard Cutter in Alaska and got the old Dit Dit on 500 KC from a Russian trawler. Funny, we never saw any fishing Nets. LOL

      @@jimcoulter5877 It's very far from a natural language, you don't learn the sounds, only the rythm (that's why you can use morse with light or by blinking your eyes), this is why you have to maintain your skills more often than a natural language.
