Very well made video. Hellschreiber (esp. Feld-Hell) is fascinating, because it basically is for the eyes what morse code is for the ears.. It also works with CW equipment, so very simple QRP transceivers like the Pixie can be used for this mode. That being said, Hell is no rival for Morse. In fact, most Hellschreiber software supports Morse code, too. ^_^
Very nicely done OM. I have monitored some HellSchreiber transmissions on 30 meters and found the mode quite interesting. Haven't made any contacts yet. Thanks for the nice documentary on the mode. 73 and have fun.
I think you said that the transmitter drum revolves twice for each letter. I think it only revolves once each letter. It prints two lines of letters due to the two points of contact on the printer spiral. Please correct me if I am wrong. Very good presentation of Hellschreiber history and operation. Thanks. Ken S
So very interesting, thank you for posting the video. While my digital mode software does have this mode covered, I in fact have never used it at all ever. Very active on PSK31, RTTY45 & SSTV however favouring 30m, 20m & 17m at the moment Thanks again 👍
Thank you for this nice Video. May be some day I will be able to do this communication mode. Now Im motivated because I found that Im an owner of the right Item at 2:28 from my grandpa. Years ago, before he died he explainde me tuning radio stations with this equipment. Its named Rudi. He told me they got crapped on when they used it during WW2 for civil Radio stations. 73 de DL1RCI
Very informative and well done. While I do not have any hf gear due to financial, time, space and many other factors ( sigh ) I'm with you. Nice stuff. Thanks for the videos. 73's
I came across this on 151.820 MHz while messing with an old police scanner earlier this week. I been hearing it all week in the evenings and into the night. Whoever is doing this is not bothering me since my radios operate in the GMRS and UHF commercial band but I found it interesting none the less. I have a general idea who it is doing it also but I need to wire in a VHF radio to my PC to decode it to be sure.
2:32 Nice video from the American point of view. Only, the machine to the right isn’t a transceiver but a Wehrmacht Rundfunkpfaenger nicknamed Rudi, so a German army broadcast receiver so soldiers could listen to Goebbels propaganda.

Love the narration, including the humor. Well done.
Great video! I especially appreciated the signals matching the beat of the music at the end (ca 14:08), *really* groovy, gives me ideas! ;)
Very nice description of Hellschreiber! Easy to follow and understand - thank you!
Thank you for these insights, very good video.
Very good explanation of how the machines and protocol work. I sure would love to have a real Hellschreiber machine in my collection!
Mark's Tech Channel ; someone did, check out the k7age channel. But it's all done by computer now.

I would venture that the feldhell is a"character field modulation"
Since its viewing screen is 7 by 7 pixels...
Quite ingenious - thank you !

Go for it! I'd like to hear who you think it is - and what location.
@j Mitch Hopper NICE history of early ham radio
I translate it as "Hell Script".
Just today 1/ 7/22 I worked an old friend on feld hell for an hr. on 20m. Hell forever (or something like that) 73 wb3dsj

I’ve been a ham for 33 years. Just started mixing it up with digital modes. I enjoyed Feld Hell the most. Usually using less than 5 watts. de n5vwn
