Point proven. They're good, very good. I used Morse Code for many years in my job in the Australian Air Force. It 'punched through the glue' when other, more modern communications technology simply failed. Gotta love H.F.
The original Morse Code sent over wires (telegraph), was made up of dots, dashes and spaces, made to be used with mechanical sounders (the device doing the clicking). It is known as the Continental Code. With the advent of radio, and receiving the signal audibly, the code was tailored to Dots and Dashes, and the spaces were between characters to separate one from another. It is known as International Morse Code. The mode (emission type) is CW, or Continuous Wave
I would beg to differ. American Morse, or the original Morse Code, did require some "adjustment" to be understood well on the first trans-Atlantic cables, but my understanding and research suggests International and Continental Code are the same codes, the evolution of original Morse. Radio operators who use Morse code almost invariably use the modified version.
This is a hilarious and enjoyable video clip to watch. The two gentlemen must be professional telegram operators in their younger years. The host and the lady on the show are also pretty funny.
Its not the bug thats important...Its the guy behind the bug. I listen to this every week to keep my brain exercized.Best regards to you and Gordon. Lee Mason KA operator CP Kamloops 1951 to 1956 sign MA
and that man was not even doing a particulary high speed. but then again, you cannot compare a professional telegrapher with that lady. as a radioman i "text via morsecode" with japanese friends - whom of you iphone junkies is texting to people in foreign countries?
Can someone help me understand what he says starting at 5:22 "R is in reverse: a dot, a space, and 2 dots". In Morse code, R is .-. , which is not . .. ; does the "bug" change the code, assuming the listener interprets a space as a dah ?
.... aaaand google comes to the rescue (after a fair bit of research). For anyone interested, it has to do with the "american" (ie: railroad) version of morse code and the "international" (standardized) version. These guys are railroad operators. The common ham version today is the international version. For example, everyone knows that "help" in Morse is SOS: "...---..." (international) , but in "american/railroad", SOS would be: "... - - ..." Wikipedia reports the American Morse is about 5% faster, since it has an extra "symbol" of a intra - character gap.
In original Morse (American Morse) a C is " .. . " but R is " . .. " Note the spacing between the dots, which is a slight pause. The "bug" or speed key, simply was a device that made sending telegrams easier as well as faster for the operator, as opposed to the traditional key that one pounded down and released.
I tried to type the sentence in my iPhone, with autocorrect on, and I was actually faster. (Okay, just try it on your phone.) But I was still impressed by the morse code operator. I found this video because I am searching for a way to input text to my iPhone using Morse code, something like the iDitDahText...
Pazu Kong The main advantage here is that the telegraph is immediately sending the message as it's being inputted. Granted, I'm not sure if she's using a standard querty keyboard on her phone, but there's still a considerable delay between her sending the message and him receiving it. It's amazing to look at the history of communications technology like this.
Ed/Gordon: That was gold plate telegraphing: I would guess about 35 WPM . Your Vibroplex looke very new, very similar to mine made about 1998. I hope you will put more on RUclips. Leebm29 ex CN SP CPR operator

Excellent to see and hear I send and receive on the Radio far easier to me I do not think could read clicks thank You all
and that man was not even doing a particulary high speed.
but then again, you cannot compare a professional telegrapher with that lady.

This is a freind of mines father asked me to post it for him . It was Calgary Station. Ed lives in Calgary

C M I thought SOS was ... --- ...?
Typo, international is... - - -...

cool thank you.
cw wins everytime!

CW uber alles. BTW was that the Swedish Chef texting? :)
Would you care to tell him that I have had the "bug" since 1950. It is serial no 169882 and is still like new.. Ed..
Which Citytv station was this on?
Its with Sadness I must inform you that ED Cox passed away October 25th 2012.
Sorry to hear that
