![]() ![]() This page is dedicated to the lost art of Morse code, which is able to communicate more information over greater distances, in the presence of poorer atmospheric conditions and interfering signals, than any other method.įour score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Many celebrated this change for a number of reasons - modern wireless communications no longer relies on Morse, even over long distances and critical applications, and the requirement was stopping many people from getting ham radio licenses and starting an interesting hobby.įrom my perspective, now that Morse is a dead art, my interest has increased - sort of like wanting to learn Latin on realizing no one speaks it any more. ![]() In 2007 the (U.S.) Federal Communications Commission dropped the requirement that ham radio operators be able to send and receive Morse code (similar changes have taken place in commercial and military radio operations). The above Morse code means "Calling any distant ( DX) stations, this is ham radio operator KE7ZZ calling and listening."įrom a modern perspective Morse code has a number of drawbacks including a data rate much slower than voice or modern digital methods, but over long distances, in adverse conditions or with little transmitter power available, it has been the preferred mode for reliable point-to-point communications - until recently. ![]()
