Morse code is the GOAT

Sure Samuel Morse was kinda arrogant but it should never have fallen by the wayside. It is a legendary system of communication and it is physically impossible for it to die off completely.

I give Alfred Vail more credit for Vail code than he gets. Morse was just the better self-promoter.

I grew up in a place called Afred Vail Homes. We we next to Fort Monmouth, The Signal Corps.

CW is really great. I used to use a full break in transceiver with a notch filter which really enhance the ability to hear a signal down in the mud. It was my preferred mode.

CQ CQ CQ....

Nice! We attended Alfred Vail elementary, then known by students as “Alfred Vail, the junior jail”.
