You'll get out just fine! |

The owners of many a cargo ship still find it cheaper to pay a Morse operator than install expensive and quirky satellite gear.
The robust clarity of Morse has found it a spot in some surprisingly high-tech applications, such as moonbounce,
for instance, in which experimenters bounce very-high-frequency signals off the moon.
And it’s not widely known, but tucked discreetly into the shining digital control panels of
the ultra-high-frequency radio used aboard U.S. space shuttles is a tiny, collapsible telegraph key, just in case.... |
"
I Shin Den Shin
"
This word is frequently used among Japanese CW enthusiasts, originally coming from a Chinese
